    Prepare the Quail

    Clean and season the quail with salt and black pepper. Dredge each quail in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

    Fry the Quail

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the quail for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
