INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Pheasants or small chickens
- 8 quail
- 4 game hens or squab
- 2-12 ounce cans of beer
- 1/2 cup of vegetable or olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic-crushed
- 4 Serrano peppers-seeded and finely chopped
- 2 limes-thinly sliced
- 4 Tablespoons of soy sauce
- 4 Teaspoons of Margarita salt
- 1 Teaspoon of dried pepper flakes
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare the Marinade: Combine soy sauce, beer, garlic, pepper flakes, oil, lime, peppers and salt.
- Clean, rinse and dry the birds. Place them in 1 or 2 heavy, large plastic food bags.
- Pour the marinade into the bags with the birds and seal. Turn and shake the bags until the birds are coated with the mrinade. Refrigerate overnight, turning the bags occasionally.
- Remove the birds from the bags and posotion them on your turning spit. Tie the legs and the wings close to the body so they won't overcook.
- Roast in a covered grill over medium-hot coals or in a 350º oven. Large birds will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours, smaller birds will take about 30 minutes. Baste the birds every 5 minutes.
- To check if they're done, poke a fork between the thigh and body. If juice is clear, they are done.
