Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Quail
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the blue quail under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Season the Quail
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the quail, ensuring they are well coated.

Sear the Quail
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the quail and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Deglaze the Skillet
Pour in the red wine and chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Roast the Quail
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the quail is cooked through and the juices run clear.
