This is my favorite:
Quail, Bacon Wrapped, Stuffed
[p]6 Whole Quail
3 Cups Cooked Rice
½ Cup Pignole, Pine Nuts, Peacans, Walnuts, your choice
½ Cup Chutney
¼ Cup Scallions
12 Pieces Bacon
SAUCE
1 Jar Raspberry Jam 4-6 Oz. or Orange Marmalade
Dijon Mustard
Balsamic Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Salt/Pepper



1 Cook Rice, Basmati or Jasmine preferred, Use 1/3 orange juice by volume of total liquid used to cook rice.
2 Mix cooked rice w/ nuts, chutney, scallions, stuff quail, works well w/cornish game hens, just takes more. ingredients to stuff birds. Use: pepper, salt,poultry seasoning whatever you like for rub.. Stuff birds w/mixture.
3 Wrap birds w/bacon , may take 2-3 pieces to totally wrap birds. Skewer w/large tooth picks or something else to hold the bacon.
4 Place in oven baking dish on rack to keep drippings underneath or place on BGE and grill using indirect method. Bake 350-375 F for 40-50 minutes till bacon is crispy, Start birds breast down, "V" rack works well and turn breast up 1/2 way into cook.
5 Sauce: Mix the sauce ingredients in a pan on low heat, add raspberry jam first. Tablespoon Dijon, Tablespoon Balsamic vinegar. Lemon juice and seasoning. Bring to slow boil and stir; adjust to your tastes. Orange marmalade may be substituted for the raspberry.
6 Rest 10 minutes. Serve. If Egging be careful not to let the drippings flare and burn bacon/birds. Great reheated next day.
