Deep fried Asian Style Quail

[MichelleKing]

This is a recipe I found from a few different sites and a youtube video. I modified it and it came out to perfection.

Resources: https://www.chowhound.com/post/deep-frying-quail-928570 -->I saw a you tube link on this thread for General Tsos chicken. The youtube video is SUPER helpful to learn how to bread.

I served it last night. It was AMAZING. If you do not have a deep fryer, you can use a pan with a ton of oil.

RECIPE
9 whole quail, skin on

BRINE
6 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
-Boil and mix until dissolved, chill until cold
- Add quail, cover, refrigerate for 2 hours
-Take quail out and rinse until water runs clear

BREADING
-I’m large bowl:
1/4 cup Rice Wine Vinegar
6 quail eggs
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp white pepper
-coat quail and refrigerate for 30 mins

- to the bowl with quail add:
1/3 cup cornstarch
-mix until cornstarch is gone
-then add
1tbsp sesame oil
1tbsp canola oil
- mix thoroughly until breading is coated with oil and smooth

FRYING

If you don't have fresh quail available check the freezer section of your groceries stores. They may carry them, my local stores do.
