   Add oil to a depth of 1 inch to a deep pan and heat to
   350 degrees (use a thermometer). Combine flour,
   cayenne, 5 spice and salt together on a plate. Remove
   quail from marinade and wipe off excess marinade.

   oil returns to 350 degrees before adding new ones.

   together with 1/3 cup or so of the vinaigrette and
   arrange attractively on plates. Top with a warm quail
   and serve immediately garnished with cilantro sprigs.

   oil until soft but not brown. Set aside in a mixing
   bowl to cool. Whisk in the lemon juice, honey and salt
