  • For the best results, use fresh quail. If using frozen quail, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Make sure the quail are completely dry before grilling. This will help them cook evenly and prevent sticking.
  • Use a grill brush to clean the grates before grilling the quail. This will help prevent the quail from sticking.
  • Grill the quail over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Turn the quail frequently while grilling. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the quail. The quail are done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the quail rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
