Quail Roasting Tips
- Let the meat come up to room temperature before cooking.
- There's not much fat on a quail. You can try wrapping it in fatty bacon or pancetta to stop it drying out when roasting and add additional flavour.
- Some people add stock or dash of white wine to the pan halfway through cooking.
- Don't forget to rest the meat before carving. This allows the meat to relax and distributes the juices throughout. A general rule of thumb used by chefs for resting meat is 1 minute for every 100g of meat.
