Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 quail, dressed
4 ounces (1 stick) butter, melted
1 cup spicy rub, recipe follows
6 whole jalepenos
6 strips bacon
Butter, for basting
1 cup Adams Steak Seasoning
1 pinch (go easy) chili powder
1 pinch (go real easy) red chile flakes
2 pinches garlic powder, or to taste

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.
