Grouse are the best. They’re super fun to hunt, super easy to prepare, and easy and delicious to cook. These little poppers are an easy way to eat a grouse breast. Simply season, wrap in bacon and roast until cooked through. All you need is a couple of bevies and you’ve got a great little seasonal party. This recipe scales up easily from one breast, so no matter how many grouse you catch, this recipe should work for you.
Serves 4
1 grouse breast, cleaned
Salt and pepper, to taste
A drizzle of olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, quartered lengthwise
2 strips thick-cut bacon, halved
2 tsp honey

Wrap with bacon
1. Set oven at 400 F. Remove the breast from the bone and divide it into two pieces. Season breast meat with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Place one slice of jalapeno on each piece of the breast, then wrap with a half piece of bacon. Place each piece into a cast-iron pan and roast until brown, about 10 minutes. Flip and drizzle each piece with ½ tsp of honey and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until grouse is fully cooked.
