Tips:

  • Marinate the quail: Marinating the quail will help to add flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the quail. This will help to prevent the quail from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the quail: Grill the quail for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the quail rest: Let the quail rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
