Reviews
I recently received the gift of quail and didn’t know what to do with it. Decided to try this recipe despite the lack of reviews because the combination of ingredients sounded good. My husband and I were not disappointed! Simply wonderful. For the broiling part, the recipe seems to overestimate the cooking time (it was five to six minutes per side for us), but other than that it was flawless. I need to find some more quail to cook!
