About Quail, meat and skin, raw
Quail are small, plump game birds of several genera, raised and hunted for both their delicate meat and their tiny, speckled eggs. A single bird yields just a few ounces of tender, fine-grained meat with a mild, subtly sweet, faintly gamey flavor richer than chicken, and is often served whole, one or two per person. Quail is a good source of lean protein, iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins, while the prized eggs, about a fifth the size of a chicken egg, are rich in protein and choline.
Because the birds are small and lean, they cook fast and dry out easily, so they are best roasted hot and quick, grilled, pan-seared, or deep-fried, frequently butterflied, stuffed, or wrapped in bacon, and they feature in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. The little eggs are boiled, pickled, fried, or used as a garnish. Choose plump birds with smooth skin, and store quail chilled, using it within a day or two or freezing it.
