That looks great Gert, well done you.  Did you leave the quail whole - it's hard to believe all that fitted into a 1.5 litre SC  :o

Yes I do like rabbit but I wanted to join in your challenge this weekend like the others so will wait now for the next one. I procrastinated too long on this one as I had other things going on that needed attention.

Here are the little birds butterflied and then salt and peppered.  The final photo ended up blury, to much of a hurry.






Hope that works

Looks good Gert and Acadia.
My quails  have been butterflied and are now resting in their marinade until tomorrow. I have also parboiled some chicken wings and put them in the same marinade, and will BBQ them tomorrow as well.

Clever people. They are all so different and great looking. My chicken will be going on a little later this afternoon. I'm glad I got the chicken as the rest of the family said no way were they eating quail, they are too cute.

Ok this was late lunch. I cooked in the Thermomix a blend  of chilli, honey, dried and fresh finger  for basting. DH was in charge of making the beer ass Quail thingies . For putting in the little cans to baste the inside and keep them moist was about 30 mils of the stuff in that bottle plus a few herbs.

Really fab.

Did DH lose a few fingers making the beer ass cans?

Seriously though, looks amazing
