Marinade version dated 12/19/2022: Mother-in-law packed a suitcase full of frozen goodies and that included two big fat home-raised Coturnix quails.
My mom likes this marinade version for the quails too. Let’s gather the ingredients!

Direction:

It’s so good! I hope your family enjoys this air fried quails recipe too.
