Barbecued Texas-Style Quail
- 6 quail, dressed
- 4 ounces (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1 cup spicy rub, recipe follows
- 6 whole jalepenos
- 6 strips bacon
- Butter, for basting
- 1 cup Adams Steak Seasoning
- 1 pinch (go easy) chili powder
- 1 pinch (go real easy) red chile flakes
- 2 pinches garlic powder, or to taste
- Rub the quails with butter and apply a light coating of the seasoning to the bird.
- For a real Texas taste, place a jalapeno pepper in the center of the bird.
- Wrap a strip of bacon around the breast of the bird and secure with a toothpick.
- Cook over an open fire or hot coals.
- The more smoke, the better the bird!
- As the birds cook, they should be basted with butter to keep them from drying out.
- Mix the above in a small bowl.
- Yield: approximately 1 cup
