How to Make Baked Garlic Quail

  1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place 6 quail in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over quail, ensuring they're fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place quail on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow for even cooking and crispy skin.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the quail are golden brown and crispy.
