3. Prepare a heatproof baking dish, lightly grease it with oil, and place the quails inside. For convenience, you can tie the legs. To achieve a crispier crust, place small pieces of butter on top. Drizzle lightly with white wine and, if desired, add a little broth. Now place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 180 degrees.
