Ingredients

Ingredients for Cream Cheese Mixture

• 2 containers of Philadelphia cream cheese (2 x 500 gram containers)
• 2 cups grated old cheddar cheese
  15-20 jalapeno peppers (I like to leave the seeds in to make it extra spicy but you can unseed the peppers and slice them up)

Ingredients for Drumsticks

• 12 Drumsticks (You can do this with chicken thighs but I find it less time consuming with drumsticks)
• Pack of Low sodium Bacon (2 slices per drumstick)
  Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
   Season your drumsticks with salt and pepper on each side.
2. Line your baking pan with aluminum foil and raise the edge (to prevent the grease from falling over and making a mess of your oven)
3. Take a handful of of the cream cheese mixture and stack it on each drumstick
4. Take a slice of bacon (I use 2 but your choice) and wrap it around the drumstick and the filling. Make sure it is all covered.
5. Place each stuffed and wrapped drumstick on your baking pan
   Place baking pan in oven for 40 mins
