Method

  1. 1 Tie the quail's legs close to its body to help it maintain its shape when pan-frying.
  2. 2 Pan-fry the chicken in butter for 3 minutes on each side until the skin is golden brown.
  3. 3 Pour in the cognac and ignite it until the alcohol burns completely within 20 seconds.
  4. 4 Add white wine, red onion, and thyme, then simmer covered for 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Peel the fresh grapes and add them to the pot during the last 5 minutes; adding them too early will cause them to become mushy and the sauce to turn too sour.
  6. 6 Beat cold butter into the sauce on the stovetop, then pour it over the bird and serve with toasted bread.
