Grilled Maple Roasted Quail Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine parsley, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add olive oil and stir until evenly combined. Brush seasoned oil over both sides of the quail.
• Grill for 8 minutes. Carefully flip with tongs and grill for 8 minutes more.

Steps:

• Rinse quail well and pat dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over quail, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Drain quail, reserving the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 475 degrees and roast quail for 10 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue roasting, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, until quail are deeply coloured and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes more.
• Serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, shallots, thyme, oil, and pepper. Add the quail and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Place the marinated quail on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Brush the quail with Maple Bacon Vinaigrette and grill for 2 more minutes. Place each quail on 1 ounce of arugula.
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside. In a food processor, combine the bacon fat, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, syrup, vinegar, shallot, and garlic. Mix well and slowly drizzle in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in bacon pieces.

Steps:

• To make the marinade: In a small bowl, mix together all the marinated ingredients.
• Put the quail in a large heavy-duty plastic zip-top bag.

• Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
• Shake gently to distribute the marinade.
• Refrigerate 1-8 hours and turn occasionally.
• Take the quail out of the bag and throw away marinade.
• Pat quail dry with paper towels.

• In a small bowl, add all the seasoning blend ingredients; stir to combine.
• Sprinkle seasoning blend over quail.
