Honey BBQ Grouse
By David Pennell
4 grouse breast
salt
pepper
6 cups flour
2 quarts vegetable oil
4 tablespoons honey
favorite BBQ sauce
Take four cleaned grouse breast, lay on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap, Pound lightly with kichen mallet. Remove plastic and discard. Season lightly with salt and pepper, dredge grouse in flour, only a light coat is necessary. In a 8 qt stockpot add 2qts of vegetable oil. Heat to 350 degrees. Be sure to use a candy or other suitable high temperature thermometer to regulate the frying oil temperature. When oil is 350 use metal tongs to gently place two grouse beasts in oil one at a time. Only fry about three minutes or untill a light golden color is achieved. Do not fully cook. Remove Grouse from oil and place on a sheet pan. Repeat process. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle each breast with 1 tablespoon of honey. Brush favorite BBQ sauce on each piece of meat. I prefer a thinner BBQ for this recipe such as stubbs. Place in oven for aproxamately 10 minutes or untill a internal temp of 165 degrees. The result is a suprisingly moist and tender grouse. This works equally as well with pheasant.
