here i will show you how to clean a quail

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 fresh quail
  • game shears
  • cool water
  • ziplock bag
  • trash bag
  1. Step 1

    First you will want to have a sanitary area to begin.

  2. Step 2

    You will want to pinch the skin under the breast and tear part of the skin back.

  3. Step 3

    Grasp the quail by its legs and use two fingers under the breast.

  4. Step 4

    Grasp the breast firmly and pull the breast and legs in opposite directions.

  5. Step 5

    The legs, back, head, and guts should all pull out.

  6. Step 6

    Finally just take your game shears and clip the wings off, and give the breast a thorough cleaning. Once you clean a few quail you should be able to clean one in as little as 10-15 seconds!

Tips & Warnings
  • You may want to wear gloves for this although i prefer not to because the feathers tend to stick to them and get allover the meat.
  • As with any meat or poultry you should clean and cool it as soon as possible to avoid spoilage.
