Pheasant, quail and chukar Recipes

Split, cream cheese, jalapeños, bacon-wrap, grill.

Use some of it in Gumbo this weekend. One of the last wkds in the 40’s. Haven’t had pheasant in a gumbo but have had both quail & chucked and both were great.

My dad raised Bob White Quail in a pen when I was young, they would get as big around as a softball.

Then he would fry them like chicken with the golden / brown coloring, that with brown gravy and rice was some of the finest eating ever.

Quail have really white meat in the breast

Easiest and best way below. I cook them all the time

Quail/pheasant fricasse

Cut meat into pieces and lightly flour

In roughly 1 cup of oil, fry meat and then remove

Add 1/2 cup of flour and 1 McCormacka gravy packet to oil and mix until smooth

Add holy trinity mix and minced garlic into roux and cook down

Add roughly one box container of chicken stock(maybe 1.5)

Add meat back in and cook down for about 1 hour

Serve over mashed potatoes or rice

Back in college, we had some kind of peanut butter-thyme chukkar and it was okay.

But not my style.


But if experimenting is your thing, then try it.
