Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 450ºF, or if grilling, preheat grill to medium-high.
2
Cut 1 jalapeño into 14 strips, and cut 7 slices of bacon in half.
3
To prepare quail: season each breast with salt then top with 1 strip of jalapeño and some shredded cheese. Fold breast over then wrap entire breast with 1/2 piece of bacon. Secure with a skewer or toothpick. Continue until all breasts are wrapped.
4
Place on a lined baking sheet and bake or grill 20 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, dice 4 to 5 slices of uncooked bacon, and place in a skillet over medium-high heat.
6
Cook several minutes to allow some fat to render out and the bacon to begin to crisp.
7
Finely dice remaining jalapeño then add to bacon along with minced shallots and garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8
Add bourbon and carefully set on fire (using a stick lighter) to allow alcohol to cook off.
9
Once alcohol has cooked off, stir in maple syrup, mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer for 1 minute, remove from heat and quickly stir in butter.
10
Serve sauce in a small bowl next to quail.
