Place a lemon quarter inside each quail along with a tbl. of chive pieces and generous sprinkling of pepper. wrap the boiled bacon around the quail and tie in place with kitchen string. In medium roasting pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Brown the quail on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, place quail breast-side down, and pour the marinade on top.
Roast the quail, basting occasionally, for 7 minutes. Turn the bird over, baste, and roast another 7 minutes. Remove roasting pan from the oven and place quail on carving board, loosely covered with foil, for about 5 minutes. Discard any extra fat from roasting pan and heat the pan juices over low heat. Discard the kitchen string from the quail, and serve them with or without the bacon, drizzled with pan juices. Serves 2.
