Instructions: Bobwhite is probably the best known of the quail family, but others such as Gambels and the desert quail have their devotees across the country. These are small birds, 5 to 6 ounces, with tender, flavorful dark meat. Since they are similar to dove in having a short life span, youll rarely come across a tough one. If the age is important to you, use the wing feather test as with grouse. Being small, quail are usually served 2 to each diner for a main course, or 1 apiece for an appetizer.
