Prepare the quail by spatchcocking and cleaning them.

Mix the lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, avocado oil, soy sauce, cayenne pepper, and chopped coriander in a bowl to create the marinade.

Coat the spatchcocked quail with the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat it.

Place the marinated quail on the grill, cooking for approximately 21 minutes, monitoring the internal temperature to ensure they do not overcook.

Let the quail rest for about 20 minutes before serving.
