Quail’s light colored meat is tender and succulent with a delicate, sweet and distinctly nutty flavor. These boneless quail breasts (aka quail breast filets) are easy to cook and easier to eat than whole quail.
Quail meat is enjoyed in a host of European, Middle Eastern, and even Southeast Asian cuisines, and pairs well with a variety of spices and flavors.
These quail have been air chilled, a method preferred by chefs because it better preserves the bird’s flavor, lets the meat absorb marinades better, doesn’t add water weight, and is more environmentally friendly (produces less contaminated water) than water chilling, which is used for most poultry.
