Five Spice Grilled Quail
This recipe makes 4 servings, takes about 30 minutes of prep, and about 50
minutes to cook (but some hours in between for marinating). Note that this
recipe calls for "five-spice powder," which is usually sold as
an item for preparing Chinese food. If you can't find it as is, you should
know that it's equal parts ground cinnamon, cloves, star anise, fennel seeds
and Szechuan peppercorns (but most any good-sized grocer should have the
already mixed spice).
Ingredients:
- 8 five-ounce (or so) quail
- vegetable oil
Marinade Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup of dry sherry
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce

- 1-1/2 teaspoons of five-spice powder
Seasoning blend:
- 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Directions:
- To make the marinade: In a small bowl, mix together all the
marinated ingredients.
- Put the quail in a large heavy-duty plastic zip-top bag.

divide the marinade).
- Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
- Shake gently to distribute the marinade.
- Refrigerate 1-8 hours and turn occasionally.
- Take the quail out of the bag and throw away marinade.

stir to combine.

15-20 minutes or until the juices are slightly pink (turn once
halfway through grill time).
