1. Rinse the quail breasts under cold running water and pat dry.
2. Place the quail in a large glass bowl with the olive oil, garlic, thyme, sage, and parsley.

5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (250-300°C).
6. Remove quail from the refrigerator and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
7. Remove the quail breasts from the marinade, slice to almost 1cm thick slices, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
8. Place quail on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (like most small birds, you do NOT want to overcook).
