Quail on a Stick and Bacon Wrapped Brats

Guess the title says it all!
 I wanted to roast a few quail over the fire while camping last time and had planned on just whittling a stick down to slow roast them.  Then someone wanted brats....with jalapenos and bacon....and you can't have bacon wrapped brats without onions, kraut and spicy mustard.. so the menu grew. :)




Fired up a few logs in the tractor rim...



Skewered the quail and seasoned with Tatonka Dust



wrapped a few of them in bacon...



and onto the fire to slow roast....







I split the store-bought brats, inserted slivers of jalapeno then wrapped them in bacon...




onto the fire with a skillet of onions in butter....






added the kraut to the onions....




                           
















a jalapeno stuffed bacon wrapped brat with caramelized onions, kraut and spicy mustard...











I was a happy girl!! :)




A couple of roasted quail on a stick and a cold beer to wash it down, it was a perfect meal for sitting around the campfire that night.  I hate to say it but it was a heck of a lot better than a marshmallow on a stick. :)

Love the look of the quail on the stick, very primal. Would you say it's closer in taste to chukar or dove?

Thanks Kirby! It's nice to see ya. :)
I would say closer to chukar..they are really mild in flavor. I love dove but love quail a lot more. lol

Hope you had a great weekend!

Oooh the brats with the bacon and jalapeno is a great idea, brats was one of the things on the menu for vacation on the lake and I sure will be using your idea! Thanks and it sure looks good.

that looked to be pretty good eats from what I see. I think I saw a Budweiser beer holder with maybe a bud in it. Now your talking my kind of beer.

Funny how meals can expand so easily - everything looks outstanding, especially in the fadding daylight.

Hi Jeanie,

brats and sauerkraut - very german your last outdoor session. :)
I never tried that im combine with hot jalapenos, but it looks very delicious; the birds, too.

:) Thanks Willie! The beer with the brat might have been a bud. I know there were some in camp. :)

Jeanie, anything on a stick and wrapped in bacon is ok in my book... It all looks great!

You sure know how to fish! Just hope they leave your lines alone long enough to finish the meal, right? I really like how you did those brats, nice job.
