430. WHITE WINGS

16 white wings
4 (8 ounce) boneless chicken breasts
32 slices thin sliced bacon
1 lb monterey jack cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
16 slices pickled jalapeno peppers

Cut each chicken breast into 4 strips. Place a cheese cube and one slice of jalapeno on each chicken strip and roll up. Wrap one slice of bacon around each rolled up chicken slice, forming a ball; then wrap another slice of bacon the opposite way. Tuck the bacon into the chicken ball, using toothpicks to hold in place. Grill at medium heat for 20-30 minutes, rotating constantly to ensure the meats are cooked through. Cheese will start to ooze out and bacon will be crispy when done.

NOTE: You can speed up the cooking process by blanching the chicken balls in a fryer first for about 3-4 minutes.

Serve with flour tortillas, salsa, sour cream, or pico de gallo.
