Ingredients

The Quail:

  • Plucked or Skinned Quail (1 per person)
  • Coriander
  • Paprika
  • Avocado Oil
  • Cracker Barrel Campfire Seasoning
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper

The Waffles:

  • Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Batter (Red Box)
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • 3 capfuls Vanilla Extract
  • Butter

Recipe

Prepare waffle mix and let rest while you grill the quail

Rub each quail with a generous amount of avocado oil and then lightly coat each bird with seasonings.

Grill quail at 400 – 425 degrees (in the oven or heavy covered grill)

Keep quail covered in warm oven for up to 15 minutes (any longer and you risk drying out the birds)

Make waffles on the griddle quickly so they’re hot and the birds don’t dry out.

Serve with syrup and butter, and enjoy!
