Rub them down WELL, with your favorite brisket type rub. Wrap them up tight with a lean piece of bacon where the legs are held together. Grill till the bacon crisps up good over medium heat. If you want to really gett'er done, give'em a splash of woosher sauce first and then a good shake of McCormick's fajita seasoning, then a dose of the BBQ rub. and grill as above. you wont have any left over.... Or just wait a bit and Ol' Randall will be around with a killer dirty gravy and cat head biscuit meal he uses for Bobs that cant be beat.... Bill

I am going to try this next time I have to cull. It looks so DELISH. Could you suggest a Brisket Rub? I am not familiar but will go and look.

Last time I had to cull the males, my friend deep fried them and they were yummy too.

Well, to be honest, I dont buy rub. I used to cook alot of BBQ contest and use home made rubs. We won a ribbon or two use'in this on brisket and chicken, works fair on ribs too. Mix it in a big baggie and give it a shake. Makes quite a bit but it keeps good. Bill, (Who did'nt become Fat Daddy eat'in BAD BBQ!!!)

1 cup of kosher salt
1 cup of sugar
1\\2 cup of paprika
5 tabls of black pepper
3 tabls of granulated garlic. Garlic powder is not the same!!
3 tabls of cumin
2 tabls of oregano
2 tabls of hickory smoked salt (if you can find or make it)
1 tabls of chipolte pepper

Any way you cook them they will tast delisous. I like to wrap them in bacon and grill them with a little white pepper and a touch of garlic salt. I also use cherry wood to smoke them.

I have a question that no one ever seems to ask. When culling the birds being sent to Camp Webber, how exactly do you kill em? Do you stretch their necks? I have hunted all my life and any bird around the size of a quail that wasn't all the way dead was relieved of its head. Just want to make sure I am not breaking any quail laws when I go to thin the flock.

BOP AND CHOP....

HOLD THE BIRD SO ITS HEAD IS WELL EXPOSED... BOP IT VERY FAST AND FORCEFULLY ON SOMETHING THEN AS ITS UNCONSCIOUS CHOP THE HEAD OFF WITH A SHARP INSTRUMENT... HATCHET? KNIFE? CLEAVER? SCISSORS? WHATEVER

 

[diggerduck]

thanks JJ....I know how you are about quail law, just trying to stay on the right side of the pen. I figured it was a simple act of food chain establishment, yet I had to ask.

 

[Fat Daddy]

Maybe Iv been bad, but I just pull there heads off real quick..... no bop, no chop. Quickly gone they are every time thou.... Bill

Heavy duty kitchen scissors after a humane head whack on the edge of the table works nice.
The one good thing about raising your own quail is that you don't have to dig bird shot out of them.
