Taylor's Jalapeno Poppers image

If you own a barbecue joint like I do, you pretty much dream about barbecue in your sleep. Jalapeno poppers are also one of my favorite appetizers, and this recipe is a great way to combine those foods. They're very popular on the menu at my restaurant. Try your own variation by stuffing the peppers with cooked chicken or beef. -Taylor Hicks, Birmingham, Alabama
