I need the best tasting easy quail recipe.

I feel kind of dumb asking but I recognize the bottom pieces as whole breasts, but what part is the top thing? I'd have thought a wing but if the bottom was a breast, no way. Could those be leg/thigh quarters?

YES, legs/thighs...

OK, if those are six week old jumbo brown, how much larger are they at full size? I'd be raising them as meat only for myself since dh and the kids are all vegetarian, so I only need to process enough for myself.
Thanks!

If I remember right these birds were around 7 oz at 6 weeks. Some of the hens broke 10 oz. at 8 weeks. Bill

Crock Pot Quail

Just wanted to share a recipe I put together this past weekend. The trip to the crock pot in the soup brine will make the meat fall off the bone. This "may" beat the quail and gravy recipe I posted earlier.........and it's simple too.

Crock pot ingredients:

• 2 cans of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can of Campbell’s cream of chicken soup
• 1 pk. of Lipton Onion Soup and 3 Chicken Bouillon Cubes (mixed with 3 cups of water and heated for 2-3 minutes in microwave) and stirred after removed. Add to crock pot.
• Get all this mixed up and stirred in while frying quail
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Separate legs from breast (I used 8 jumbo Bobs).
• Pat dry with towel.
• Season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
• Roll in self rising flour.
• Fry golden brown.
• Put birds in crock pot, and smother in soup mix.
• Cook on High for first hour
• Cook 5-6 more hours on low
• Add water if getting too thick.

I like to spray them with spray olive oil, sprinkle with either a brand of salty "steak seasoning" I like or herbs, and "roast" them in the oven at 375 like you do a chicken. I think that's darn simple.

I've rolled them in seasoning and "fried" them, then poured gravy over them and that's darn tasty, too.

Basically you can cook them about any way you can cook chicken. Just don't overcook them.

How long do you roast them?
