Honey Whisky Bacon Cheesy Cornbread

Preheat your grill to 400F. In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, chili powder) together. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet and put it on the grill to melt. While the butter is melting, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, cheese, beaten eggs, seeded jalapeños (if using), and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Add the wet mix to the dry ingredients, then fold in the bacon crumbles and corn niblets (if using). Pour the batter into the hot skillet with the melted butter. Bake on the grill for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown. While the cornbread is hot, whisk together the bourbon butter ingredients: softened salted butter, clover honey, and whisky. Slather the bourbon butter generously over the hot cornbread and serve immediately.
