QUAIL
8 slice applewood smoked bacon
8 prepared quail, patted dry
BASTE (MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS)
1 bottle italian salad dressing
1 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 tsp minced lime zest
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp minced green onion
STUFFING
1/2 c shredded asiago cheese
1/2 c shredded jack cheese
1/2 c shredded fontina cheese
1/3 c italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs, well beaten
1 pickled jalapeno, minced
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, minced
2 Tbsp minced cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare fire in a barbecue pit with an indirect heat source. Let fire cook down until temperature in chamber is about 250 degrees.
  • 2. Place bacon strips between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, roll bacon until thin, then set aside. Prepare baste by whisking all ingredients in a bowl.
  • 3. Stuff the interior cavity of each quail with a portion of the stuffing. Wrap each quail with a slice of the bacon, tucking the bacon under the wings. Secure the bacon slices with toothpicks.
  • 4. Place the birds on the grill and brush with baste. Cook, turning and basting often, for about 1-1/2 hours. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve the quail hot, with two birds per person.
