Hickory Smoked Quail and Wild Rice

Something about quail and smoked rice... has to be one of my favorites. :)



So simple to make but the kiss of hickory smoke adds just the right touch.

I add minced scallions and chicken stock to the wild rice blend...





Season the quail with a light sprinkle of Tatonka Dust...and wrap in bacon.



Into the Big Poppa drum smoker at 325F with a bit of hickory..


The rice smokes uncovered until the broth is absorbed, then I remove the pan, cover and let it sit until needed.
The quail are ready in about 45 minutes.







So simple but so tasty. :)

yummy yummy. this made my night. haven't been able to hit the fields yet this year which means i've not had any of my favorite wild game. i usually breast them out and fry but this looks and sounds like one to try. how are the legs like this? i'll often give the breasts to everyone else if i get to keep all the legs because they're sooo good.

Hope fall is treatin' you well.
The quail legs are my favorite too...so moist and tender.
Not very big but very tasty. Kind of like shrimp. :)
I hope you have great hunting this season and have a great Thanksgiving.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving!
