Best Barbecued Texas Style Quail Recipes

GRILLED TEXAS QUAIL

Steps:

• Marinate the quail in olive oil, garlic and fresh herbs in the refrigerator overnight.
• Remove from the refrigerator and sprinkle Creole seasoning blend on both sides. Grill on high heat over mesquite wood until done (about 4 to 5 minutes per side).

BARBECUED TEXAS-STYLE QUAIL

Steps:

• Rub the quails with butter and apply a light coating of the seasoning to the bird. For a real Texas taste, place a jalapeno pepper in the center of the bird. Wrap a strip of bacon around the breast of the bird and secure with a toothpick. Cook over an open fire or hot coals. The more smoke, the better the bird! As the birds cook, they should be basted with butter to keep them from drying out.
• Mix the above in a small bowl.

B.B.Q. QUAIL

Steps:

• In a bowl, crush the garlic and the thyme with the back of a spoon. Season the quail with a little salt and pepper, then rub with the garlic and thyme. Allow marinating for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven at 375 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of the quail with the B.B.Q. sauce. Put quails on a rack in a baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove quail from the oven and turn on the broiler. Brush quails with more sauce. Place quails under broiler to char, about 6 minutes. Turn to char both sides.
