Asian Style Roasted Quail
Description
This recipe features six quail marinated in a flavorful blend including honey garlic BBQ sauce, chili garlic sauce, dark sesame oil, honey, fresh garlic and ginger, low sodium soy sauce, and white wine. After at least 30 minutes of marinating in the fridge, the quail are browned on all sides in vegetable oil to develop a crisp exterior, then roasted uncovered in the oven at 375°F until cooked through, typically 20–30 minutes.
The marinade is simmered separately to reduce and concentrate flavors, then used as a sauce poured over the quail before serving. This combination of ingredients gives the quail a balance of sweet, savory, and slight heat, with toasted sesame notes from the oil and seeds.
This roasted quail makes an elegant main dish paired with a simple side, offering a rich and tender poultry option with distinctive Asian-inspired flavors.
The note reminds that nutritional information will vary by products used and preparation.
Ingredients
- 6 quail
- 2 tablespoon BBQ sauce I used honey garlic
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 3 tablespoon sesame oil dark
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, excluding quail and vegetable oil, in large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag and add quail. Seal, and chill 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
- In an oven proof large skillet or a dutch oven, heat the oil over medium to high heat. Sear the quail on all sides until brown, be careful to turn often, since quails are so small they might burn quickly. Save left over marinade.
- Roast quail in the oven uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes or until quail is done.
- In the meantime, pour the marinade in a small pot and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, it should reduce a bit.
- Pour marinade sauce over quail and serve hot with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Marinate the quail for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors thoroughly.
- Carefully sear the small quail on all sides to avoid burning due to their size.
- Roast the quail uncovered at 375°F for 20 to 30 minutes until fully cooked.
- Simmer the leftover marinade to reduce and use it as a sauce to serve over the quail.
- Nutritional values may vary based on ingredients and brands used.
