    Default Quail Bog

    I have a mess of quail and looking to do something other than fry them. Has anybody ever used quail in place of chicken for a bog? I'm fairly new to cooking quail so tell why this is a good or bad idea.

    Whole plucked and roasted at 500* for 15 minutes. Dry rub of your choice and brush with some olive oil.

    Pan sear, grill, poached?

    Quail seem more mystical to relegate to a bog, but I bet it would be good. You could probably back off the meat of choice for "greasing" up the recipient i.e. the sausage or bacon. Assuming they are pen raised quail.

    I'd bake them with the rub of your choice.

    If they don't have the skin on them, just lay some bacon strips over them after you rub them down with your spices, etc.

    Your quail cook em how you want to. Y'all sound like the middle class housewives you were referring to in the other thread. I like em just about anyway myself but there's nothing magical about them.

    That’s what upstate boys call a perlo.

    To the OP - I wouldn’t dare disgrace a bobwhite by frying or throwing him in with a bunch of rice and sausage.

    Spatchcock him. Salt and Pepper, and brush or spray with apple cider vinegar.

    pickled okra in the cavity, wrap vertical and horizontal with bacon pinned with a toothpick, melt green pepper jelly and baste as you grill.

    It doesn't work. Tried in place of dove once. Save yourself the time.

    One trick when cooking a bird, use high heat very fast so much so that you think the center is still uncooked. It will finish cooking while resting and makes for a juicy bird. Use this with Bogster's recipe above. MediaGuy has a good one too. Keep it simple so oyou can taste the bird.

    I'm fortunate to have access to plenty of quail, and wife makes a hell of a perlo with chicken and hog sausage. She substituted chicken for quail the last few times and it turned out awesome, maybe even better.

    Pen raised or wild birds

    That will determine if there is any need for special treatment
