Instructions
Preheat smoker to 225℉ for 30-45 minutes.
Prepare Quail
Pat quail dry. The drier you get it, the better texture you will have.
Combine all the dry seasoning ingredients in a bowl.
Once fully mixed, coat each quail extremely well in the seasoning. There should be a bunch of seasoning so don't skimp out!
Prepare Smoker for Quail
Fill bowl to water line with water and place on the bottom rack. This will keep your quail nice and moist and tender.
Insert fruity wood chips.
Place quail on the different racks. There is no need to overcrowd them. There is plenty of space.
Cook for 1hr or the internal temp reaches 165℉
Sauce
While the quail is smoking, prepare your sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Mix in the remaining ingredients, and stir until fully combined!
Prepare the wings
In a bowl, toss the smoked wings with the sauce! The sauce is the best part, so lather those bad boys up! Enjoy!
