How to Make Spicy Honey And Garlic Quail

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Cut quail in half lengthwise.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients (see below).
  4. Add quail halves to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  5. Place quail halves on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows for even browning.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quail is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 74°C/165°F). Baste with reserved marinade halfway through cooking.
  7. Serve immediately over a bed of crispy fried vermicelli noodles and your favorite stir-fried vegetables.
  8. For a heartier meal, double the recipe to serve 4 as a main course.
