Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole quail (2 per person) (wishbone removed)
  • Olive oil or melted butter
  • Seasoning or favourite rub
  • dash white wine or chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C

  • Rub the olive oil or melted butter all over the skin and season with your favourite rub or seasoning or salt and pepper
  • Put the roasting tray in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes. Halfway through add a dash of white wine or chicken stock into the tray (to prevent your quail from drying out)

Notes

Before cooking, tuck the wings in or cover in foil so they don't burn or overcook.
