Can’t handle the heat? Don’t worry, you can reduce the spice level by soaking the hollowed jalapeño halves in vinegar for a few hours to keep things nice and mild. Our hot honey rub will still tingle your tongue, but we’ll forgive you if you decide to sprinkle a little less along the way.

Ingredients
-
12 jalapeños
-
2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs
-
2 tbsp Morning Buzz
-
1 pound of bacon
-
1 block of cream cheese
-
1 cup cheddar cheese
-
1 cup mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
Hot honey
-
Chives
Garnishes (optional, but tasty)
Directions
Slice jalapeños in half and remove core and seeds. Set aside.
Trim excess fat from chicken thighs and season them with Morning Buzz.
Grill thighs over direct heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow them to cool on a plate for 5 minutes.
Cook bacon until crisp, place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
Chop the chicken and bacon into bite sized pieces, then in a bowl, mix thoroughly with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise.
Stuff each jalapeño with the mixture and place stuffed jalapeños on an oiled wire rack.
Place the wired rack on the smoker at 250°F for 30 minutes.
Remove jalapeños once softened, finish with drizzled hot honey and garnish with chives.
