Ingredients

4 servings

4 whole quail, fresh (not previously frozen and thawed for more than 24 hours)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
8 fresh sage leaves, plus 4 more for the pan
2 cloves garlic, halved
2 tbsp unsalted butter

For the pan sauce

½ cup chicken broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the quail completely dry with paper towels — surface moisture prevents browning.
2
Rub each quail all over with olive oil, then season evenly with salt. Tuck 2 sage leaves and 1 halved garlic clove inside the cavity of each bird.
