While grocery shopping today, i found a package of frozen quail. I have never tasted it. So i bought it. I want to grill it somehow. A friend told me to put a smoked sausage into the cavity, and wrap with bacon. The grill......Anybody have any ideas?

an overview.....

I have never cooked them but want to. With Cornish Game hens I have cooked them a few ways.
All get Salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning outside.

Roasted whole with an onion inside.
Spatch cocked and roasted flat in a skillet. To spatch cock you normally cut out the back bone then the bird unfolds so you can flatten it... breaking the breast bone. Now the whole bird will lay flat.... Very even cooking.... I dont cut the back bone out I just cut down the backbone with poultry shears.
split in half and layed on top of dressing for roasting.
Skewered and cooked on the rotisserie on the barbecue. (this gets Barbeque sauce the last few minutes)

Outside of skewering it You could probably cook them the same ways.... Though You might put them in a basket for rotisserie cooking.

Let us know what you do and how it comes out.

Bama, quail can be a bit tricky, you don't want to dry it in the grill. The smoked sausage (something Spanish maybe?) and bacon is a good idea, but be sure to precook whatever you put in it.

I just got back from a restaurant, my mother turned 60 today so she treated us to a meal. We wen't to a restaurant that had gotten a Michelin star a while back, but I have to say it didn't quite meet my expectations. Everything was beautiful, but tastewise it left me craving for more. Very subtle tastes.

oh jeepers, I know the quail have passed on but, I can hear their bones crackling as I read the instructions

sorry no quail for me. Once I was walking and stepped on something that made crackly noises. Looked down and then jumped - I had stepped on a very dead & dried out American Robin. I can still hear that sound. Think I am a bit sensitive. Ya think?

I have cooked dove. It is delicious. Dove hunting season is coming up soon. We have 4 seasons. Dove, turkey, deer, and deer
