1
Prep the Quail
Clean the quail thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them. Set aside for later use.
3
Melt Butter
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Ensure it does not brown.

4
Season the Quail
In a bowl, season the quail with salt, black pepper, and half of the chopped garlic. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
5
Cook the Quail
In a large skillet, heat the melted butter over medium heat. Once hot, place the seasoned quail in the skillet, breast side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
6
Add Garlic
After the quail has browned, flip them over and add the remaining chopped garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, basting the quail with the garlic butter.
7
Finish Cooking
Cook the quail until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat.

8
Plate the Dish
Transfer the cooked quail to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the quail.
9
Garnish
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the quail for garnish. If using, squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle chili flakes over the top before serving.
