The first thing you'll notice is the very small size of one bird. It is advisable to serve two quail per person.

How to prepare quail

There are very many ways to prepare quail meat. You can fry, bake, grill, smoke or braise quail. It is important not to "overstretch" the meat, as it is very tender, and you want it to be juicy. We recommend a much shorter preparation time than for fowl of a larger size.

Quail can be marinated, but a short marinade is sufficient. Also, the marinade itself should not be too intense. Quail has very tender meat and you need to be careful that the marinade does not dominate it. Then you will get an excellent natural flavor.
