- Preheat your oven to 450 F. Holding quail, breast up, tuck wing tips under. Place a little of the pancetta, a sage leaf, and 2 juniper berries in the cavity of each bird. Sprinkle the cavity and outside of each bird with a little salt and pepper. Push each leg joint downward and fasten it to the carcass with a toothpick, pushing 1 toothpick through both legs.
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large heavy skillet over very high heat.
- Arrange birds in pan, breasts down. Saute/fry, shaking pan occasionally till breasts are lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 min. Place the skillet in the oven and roast 5 to 6 min. Use tongs to turn birds' breasts up and continue to roast till golden, about 6 min.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the quail to 6 hot serving plates; keep hot while preparing sauce.
- Throw away any fat from the skillet and place the pan over medium-high heat. Deglaze the skillet, adding the gin and wine, scraping up any browned bits in a pan. Add in your stock and boil gently till reduced sufficient to coat a spoon lightly. Stir in the remaining juniper berries, adjust your seasonings, and pour this over the birds.
- Serve immediately.
