I have a good recipe for frying. Need something for the grill or oven. To fry soak birds overnight in cold water with a T spoon of salt and pinch of garlic powder. Drain, rinse with clean water pat dry, season with ground black pepper dip in 1 cup milk with 1 egg beaten in it. drop into a plastic bag with 2 cups flour shake to coat and fry til golden brown YUM YUM but oh so fattening.

My favorite is to take the breast and wrap it with bacon (maybe a sliver of japelno if you like it hot) then salt and pepper. My wife and I have cooked this on the grill or in the oven on a broiler pan.

For frying try marinating overnight in a mixture of milk and hotsauce. Then season self rising flour with salt and pepper and garlic powder to taste. Dredge birds in seasoned flour and deep fry in hot oil.

For grilling I like to marinate them in Italian salad dressing and grill over hot coals. Bruhs with marinade while grilling.

Take the time to pluck the birds, and fry those birds country fried chicken style. DELICIOUS! That's one of the very best ways to do quail.

Marinate the birds in fresh crushed garlic, lemon, beer and onions for 24 hours. Lightly egg wash and flour and fry.
