Quail and questions

Chubbs · February 2012

Company coming to town this weekend. The guys will be egging all day Saturday. One guy is bringing some quail. Has anyone cooked them on the egg before? If so, what method, and what did you put on them? Pics are welcomed!!!

no bacon in this

hand rub them with Tony Chachere's, put it the fridge for an hour or two

combine and melt in a saucepan equal portions of

lemon juice

butter

Zatarain's creole mustard

take quail out of fridge...rub again

dip in sauce then grill and baste while grilling

There we go... thanks birddog... I will definitely do that with some of them. I think he is bringing a ton of them so I may do several batches and try a bunch of different methods. As usualy, I will report back with pics.

Never cooked them on an Egg - but have alot inside the house. Would think they might dry out pretty fast - but sounds awesome. Let us know how they turn out.

I spatchcock them and do them raised direct at high heat. I cook them to about 145* for domestic quail. I heard somewhere that that was the safe temp.

LS, are they tough to Spatch?

Little Steven · February 2012

Nah, way easier than chicken. Tough to de-bone though

As long as you don't overcook and/or dry them out you can't go wrong with quail. Along with pheasant it is one of my absolute favorite things to eat.

As in keel bone? Hell on a chicken, I never even pull it out. I just push down and crack the bones after i remove the back bone to make sure it lays flat. I have never had good luck removing the keel bone. Guess I need to polish my skills with the knife.

Hell we will probably be a few beers in by the time the quail get cooked Saturday so no clue what will come of those

:D

Howdy, Stranger!
