Plucking (Requires Scalding)
3
- Solution: If keeping the skin, scald the bird in hot water (145-155°F / 63-68°C) for 30-45 seconds before plucking.
- Explanation: Scalding loosens the feathers, making them easier to remove by hand or with a plucking machine (less common for quail). Over-scalding can cook the skin.
- Notes: Requires careful temperature control and is more time-consuming than skinning.
