QUAIL IN ANCHO CHILE & HONEY SAUCE



Quail in Ancho Chile & Honey Sauce image

I adapted this luscious dish from a recipe from Chicago's fabulous iSalpicon! restaurant. Most quail is semi-boneless, only some bones in the drumsticks and wings, so it's very easy to fully enjoy every delectable morsel. Plan on two birds per person. Prep time includes marinating the quail overnight.
