How to Make Bbq Quail With Honey Mustard Dressing
- Bring 2 cups of chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan.
- Clean 8 quail, pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Gently place the quail in the boiling stock. Return to a boil, then immediately reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove quail from stock; drain and thoroughly dry. Stuff each quail with 1 teaspoon of fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme recommended) and ½ teaspoon lime zest.
- Brush each quail generously with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat. Grill quail for 7-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked quail to a warmed serving dish. Pour honey mustard dressing over the quail and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Honey Mustard Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
