Went on a quail hunt - we shot 100 on the nose. I now have a freezer full of quail. Most of my friends had to fly back home so I got the most of it. Anyone got any recipes?

Grill?
Oven
Sous vide

I've also been thinking about making some quail jerky. I have a jerky gun so I could grind it and add some pork fat. I've never made stick jerky but can pick up some casings. I guess the other option would be to flatten with a meat tenderizer. ???

I've read a few recipes on the internet but wanted to see if anyone's had any recommendations.

Seasoned and grilled.

I like to batter the running gears and fry them then toss them in buffalo sauce too. Pretty good appetizer to pick around on while the birds are grilling.

I cooked both of these with pheasant recently. You could do with quail, but be sure not to overcook.

You are one hell of a shot to get all 100 of them on the nose.

Fried quail, biscuits and MILK gravy for breakfast. Hard to beat!!

My favorite is to filet the breast meat and put two quail pieces around a split jalapeno, then bacon wrap and put on a skewer. Cook over hot coals and baste with bbq sauce toward the end. One caution - I spent all afternoon preparing a huge batch of these at hunting camp once, and cooked them for an appetizer during happy hour. I got busy with something else and went back a few minutes later to try the quail…not a single one left. I heard they were excellent.
