How to Make Baked Garlic Quail

  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.
