1
Prepare the Jalapenos
Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. If you prefer more heat, leave some seeds in.
2
Mix the Cheese Filling
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended and creamy.
3
Prepare the Duck
Shred the smoked duck breast into small pieces and mix it with the cheese filling until evenly distributed.

4
Stuff the Jalapenos
Spoon the duck and cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously.
5
Wrap with Bacon
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeno, securing the bacon ends with a toothpick if necessary.

6
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C).
7
Grill the Poppers
Place the bacon-wrapped jalapenos on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.
8
Glaze with BBQ Sauce
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the sweet BBQ sauce over the poppers to caramelize it slightly.

9
Serve Hot
Remove the poppers from the grill, let them cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer.
