How to Make Georgia Quail In Gravy

  1. Season quail generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown quail for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  3. Prepare chicken bouillon by dissolving the cube in 1 cup of boiling water (or use pre-made chicken broth).
  4. Pour the prepared chicken bouillon into the skillet.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet and transfer to a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. Simmer for 40 minutes, or until quail is cooked through and tender. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Carefully remove quail from the skillet and set aside on a plate, keeping warm.
  7. Measure the pan drippings. If there is less than 1 cup, add enough water to reach 1 cup of liquid.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a smooth slurry.
  9. Gradually whisk the flour slurry into the pan drippings, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  10. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and reaches desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  11. Return the quail to the skillet and coat with the gravy.
  12. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  13. Remove quail to a serving platter and serve immediately, generously drizzled with the rich brown gravy.
