Grilled quail and stuff

Grilled some quail with rasberry peach chipotle glaze. I made saffron rice and stir fried some broccoli for sides. This was easy to cook and delicious. 
Start with cooking the rice. Plain rice, a pinch of saffron and home made chicken broth. Cooked it first because it can hold in a warn clay pot. 

The quail is easy. I used the plate setter. Grilled the quail on the edge off the plate setter for about 4 minutes per side to get some heat and color. After that I moved the quail over the plate setter and mopped with the glaze. Cooked about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. I kept mopping with the glaze and cooked until the breast meat was 165. 

Stir fried some broccoli with some chili garlic paste. Steamed a bit with chicken broth. 

This was actually a really tasty meal and was super easy. 

Thanks for looking.

    That's some good eats right there!  Beautiful looking cook. I'm sure you've discussed it before but, please elaborate on the "clay pot."  Is it more or less a warming or hold station?

    The rice was cooked in a Japanese donabe pot. I like it because I can cook with it in the outdoor kitchen over an open flame. The clay is pretty thick so it holds the heat well and keeps the rice warm. Donabe pots are a bit pricey but like the egg, once you pull the trigger on one you'll love it.

  • Fully plucked quail. Committed. I like it. Was the glaze a creation or commercial?

    The glaze is off the shelf out of a bottle. I'll post the brand next time I get off my arse and go through the kitchen.

    Here is the glaze I used. I liked the balance of sweet and hot.
