  • dash white wine or chicken stock

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 C

  5. 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)

  7. Serve whole or carve before serving

Notes

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