Best 6 Texas Style Grilled Quail Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Start wood or charcoal fire or preheat gas grill or broiler.
• Cut along each side of the breastbone of each bird, then straight down through where thigh meets body to get 2 semi-boneless halves from each bird. (Don't worry if skin holding thigh and drumstick together separates.) Combine with all other ingredients in bowl or heavy plastic bag and stir or shake to coat. If time allows, marinate for an hour or so.
• Grill quail, turning as needed, until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED QUAIL

Steps:

• Check quail for any stray bone fragments or feathers. If there are V-shaped grilling pins protruding (these shape the partly boned birds), leave them in place. Rinse, and pat dry with paper towels.
• In large mixing bowl, combine vinegar, olive oil, honey, thyme and black pepper. Add quail, and toss gently to coat. Cover, and set aside in a cool place for 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat grill or broiler. Remove quail from marinade, and place near hottest part of grill or broiler. Cook until exteriors are browned and meat is just pink when sliced at the leg bones, about 3 to 5 minutes a side. Remove grilling pins, and serve immediately.
