Skin On

Skin-on quail breast bastes itself as fat renders; the skin should finish crisp while the meat stays just done. It is delicate mild-game in a tiny bird—usually one or two per person. Start skin-side down in a moderately hot pan, finish in the oven if thick, rest. Dry the skin well first. Use hot-fast roast or grill; legs lag breast so spatchcock or dual timing helps.
