Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Using kitchen shears, remove the backbone of each quail, then turn them over and press down to flatten them slightly.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade all over the quails, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the quails and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. Place the marinated quails on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through and the skin is crispy with grill marks. Avoid overcooking to prevent drying out.

  5. Remove the quails from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges on the side.
