Quail Brine and Quail Wings

I found some useful information for brining quail at this link - https://1source.basspro.com/recipes-product-reviews/cook-with-cabelas-recipes/28763/how-make-basic-brine-recipe-game-birds

Below is what I ended up doing and will continue to use it this way! It had a solid taste. Not salty and notes of brown sugar. It went real good with the wing recipe. 

Brine: 

1/2 gallon water 

1/2 cup kosher salt 

1/2 cup brown sugar 

1 lemon sliced thinly 

5 garlic cloves 

2 Bay leaves

Fresh peppercorns 

Add water, salt and sugar to a stockpot and simmer until salt and sugar dissolves. Allow to cool for a bit and then add lemon, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Allow brine to cool completely and submerge quails. Brine for 8-12 hours in the fridge. 

Be sure to rinse quail completely before cooking to remove saltiness. 

Recently acquired a new enjoyment over the taste of quail! I winged this recipe unsure of what to do with quail wings. 

12 Quail wings 

Seasoning/rub such as Spice House Gateway to the North

Rub spice all over the wings. Bake at 500 for 10-15 minutes! Done!
