Instructions: Put the quails and marinade together in a non-metallic bowl. Turn the quails in the marinade then cover and place in the fridge for 24-60 hours.

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas 5. Remove the quails from the marinade, reserving the liquid. Open out the quails and spread on a work surface.

Mix a small amount of spare marinade into the cold rice to make it less sticky. Take 1-1 1/2tbsp rice, compress it, and gently fold a quail around it. Tuck in the skin flaps and legs and gently squeeze the quail into shape. Repeat with the others.

Place the quails top-side up on a foil-lined baking tray. If they are firm, no need to truss them. Pour any remaining marinade over them. Bake for 12 minutes.

About 2 minutes before the end of cooking, mix the honey and Worcester sauce in a small pan and heat to make a glaze. Remove the quails from the oven and pour the glaze carefully over them, making sure it covers all the exposed flesh.

Return the quails to the oven for 1-2 minutes to finish off. Serve hot or cold.
