Southwestern Quail

Ingredients

  • 3-4 whole quail per person  
  • Red Devil hot sauce
  • Italian dressing
  • Jalapeno pepper slices
  • bacon
  • crushed red peppers
  • toothpicks
  • water
  • Beer

Directions  

Place quail in gallon Ziploc bag. Make a marinade of equal parts Italian dressing and hot sauce, and add 2 teaspoons crushed red peppers.

Pour over birds and let marinate 24 hours in refrigerator. Make sure to flip the bag a couple times. Take quail out and truss legs to breast with toothpicks. Then, place one jalapeno pepper slice in the chest cavity. Wrap each bird with bacon and secure with toothpicks. Grill on BBQ (300 degrees) for 20-25 minutes or until done. Be careful, and pay attention — the bacon grease can cause sudden flare ups. This is where the beer and water come in — the beer is for you, and the water is to put out flare ups. Take off grill, remove toothpicks and enjoy.
