Bacon Wrapped Smoked Quail
Bacon Wrapped Smoked Quail
Bacon wrapped smoked quail are a tasty appetizer that only take 2 hours to smoke. Simply season them, letting the quail marinate for a couple of hours. Then wrap them in bacon. Throw them in a preheated 250 degree smoker until they reach 180 degrees internal temp; which again is about 2 hours. Let them rest before serving. The bacon will helps keep the quail moist and adds that porky goodness that any little bird deserves.
