Although they are small, they pack a punch full of flavor.
Servings for 2
Ingredients:
4 Quail
1 1/2-Teaspoons Salt (Lite Salt can be used as an alternative)
1-Teaspoon Pepper
1-Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1-Teaspoon Onion Salt
1-Teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1-Teaspoon Chili
1/2-Teaspoon Cumin
2-Teaspoons Smoky Paprika
2-Cups Flour
2-Cups Buttermilk
Vegetable Cooking Oil
Mix all ingredients into buttermilk. Split (cut) each quail down the middle. Soak the quail in the buttermilk mixture for 30 minutes to an hour. Heat cooking oil to frying temperature. Allow buttermilk to drip off of quail. Dust each piece of quail in flour and place in cooking oil. Cook on each side for five minutes. Remove quail, place on cookie sheet with paper towels underneath and allow excess oil to drain off. These taste great with store bought sweet rolls and hot sauce. Enjoy!
Hint: To test if oil is hot enough for frying. Place the end of a wooden spoon in the oil. If the oil bubbles around the spoon, it is ready for frying.
