Jalapeño Popper Hasselback Chicken
Jalapenos are without a doubt a Mexican icon up there with sombreros and Frida Kahlo. These smooth, glossy torpedoes of joy are ubiquitous not only south of the border but north too, peppering Tex-Mex cuisine with their distinctive mellow heat and dark green hue. Combined with chicken, bucketloads of cheese and that classic prerequisite for a good time, double cream, you are onto a winner.
