Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 (4- to 5-ounce) semi-boneless quail
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
Scant 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Scant 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons mild molasses
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Marinate quail:
  • Wash quail and pat dry. Stir together salt, black pepper, cayenne, and allspice and rub all over quail. Arrange quail in 1 layer in a baking pan and marinate, covered and chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Make sauce:
  • Simmer broth, lime juice, molasses, and scallion in a small heavy saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • Broil quail:
  • Arrange oven rack so that top of quail (on top of broiler pan) will be 2 inches from heat, then preheat broiler.
  • Lightly oil broiler pan and heat under broiler until hot. Brush quail (on both sides) with olive oil and broil 2 inches from heat, turning once, until just cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes total.
  • Serve quail drizzled with sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the quail was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

The quail was a bit tough, but the spice rub was delicious. I think I would try cooking the quail for a shorter amount of time next time.

The quail was a bit dry, but the spice rub was delicious. I think I would try brining the quail next time to help keep it moist.
