This Quail is sleeve boneless meaning all bones have been removed except for the wings and drummette of the leg. This is all done while leaving the body cavity intact making it the perfect knife and fork item for stuffing and baking. It is also tumble marinated under a vacuum which adds 2 distinct advantages. First, the tumbling action helps tenderize the bird during the tumbling action. Secondly, the vacuum helps lock the moisture in the meat making it more durable. However, it is light enough that it accepts chef's signature recipes easily.
