Got meat?

How many quails required for one serving?

Kinda depends on dish and cooking
In general 1-2 quail per adult and 1/2 quail per child
But we do 1/2 fried each with breakfast
Multiple legs if doing a buffalo quail legs
Typically 3-4 breasts each for quail poppers

Depends on the person/appetite and how you are preparing them.. and Jumbo vs Standard sized birds..

Do you just peel the skin off on the quail?

I do several cuts before peeling a chicken like a banana.

Sharp scissors or kitchen shears off with the head I drop floppin carcasses into a deep box (usually a 30 pack Coors light box there seems to be a surplus of them in the barn near the beer fridge for just such an occasion lol) that way I can throw away or burn afterwards (less clean up) .. Grab bird breast side up, pull gently left and right at neck opening, rips downward exposing full breast, under the skin at the wings on the back touch 2 fingers together pull up and down gently all the way to the feather patch on base of tail end, pull left side down below feathers where feet start then do right side cut off feet at joints, snip off wings, cut neck down flush, at the point of breast I snip a small hole and stick a finger up to neck and drag all innerds out all the way to the vent, snip off vent and any trash remaining, grab patch of feathers at base of back and twist off, put in big bowl of cool water.. and do another.. and another.. you get the picture..

Laughing at the beer box comment….I think I may have kiki’d
Similar here except the shears for dispatch…..I prefer the twist and pop kinda like opening the bottles in the box

I can finally join I just took care of my extra males process was really easy and straightforward but the actual butchering didn’t go to plan I kinda mangled the first one while spatchcocking it but the second one turned out much better.
