| Southern Fried Quail 7-9 quail 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. Creole/Cajun seasoning (Adjust to your own tastes.) 1/4 cup flour Milk ButterMix dry ingredients together. Dip each of the quail in the milk, then the dry ingredients. You can alternate milk and dry ingredients two times (or more) if you like a thicker coating. Pan fry in butter (you can use a touch of oil if you would rather be more health-conscious) until brown. Serve with your choice of vegetables. |
| Quail in a Nest 4 quail 4 large russet potatoes Salt and pepper, or any of your other preferred seasonings. Oil Your choice of sauce (I recommend a simple meat gravy.) 1 lemon, sliced. (Optional.)Bake potatoes and hollow out tops big enough for birds to rest in – you will need large potatoes. Season birds with salt and pepper to taste (you could also try any of your other favorite seasonings) and pan fry in oil until brown and cooked through. Squeeze lemon over quail if desired. Place birds in potato nest, with legs pointing out. Pour your desired sauce over the birds and enjoy. |
| Quail n’ Dumplin’s Follow your favorite family recipe for chicken n’ dumplins. In place of chicken, use quail. You will need to use at least 1 extra breast than you would of had to use if using chicken, possibly more depending on how you like your dumplins. I prefer less meat and more dumplins myself. Enjoy this classic country meal.
