Emeril's Quail with Bourbon-Pepper Jelly Glaze

YIELD 4 servings, 2 quail per person

INGREDIENTS

quail, about 5 1/2 ounces each, dressed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pepper jelly
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

PREPARATION:

Method:

  1. Season each quail with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Preheat a grill to medium low. In a bowl whisk the pepper jelly, bourbon, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Place the quail on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the quail have grill marks on all sides. Brush the quail with the glaze and continue turning, glazing, and cooking until birds are nicely glazed and grilled on all sides and the flesh is just cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Set aside to rest briefly before serving.

    Editor's Note: Look for organic, local ingredients when possible—try at your local farmers market.
