Advice cooking quail

A neighbor has gifted me with two packages of quail - probably about 8 in each package. I cooked the first batch a couple of months ago the way my Dad used to cook doves - top of oven, slow roasted, to make a nice little gravy. (This is fantastic with white beans by the way.)
For the first batch I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little (very light) Chachere or similar. They came out very nicely, but the breasts were a little dry. Any suggestions for my second batch, to minimize dryness of breasts? (And, I'm not looking for bacon to be part of the answer. Frankly, I think you could wrap a dried turd in bacon and it wouldn't taste all that bad. )
Thanks.

Cut them into halves then fry like chicken.

Cut them into breasts and cook the breasts as you would chicken.

cut in half, season generously and coat with canola oil and grill

I agree with the cut in half, season, and grill advice. Just be careful that you don't overcook.
The best quail dish I have ever had was the Chef Chris' Quail Gumbo at La Provence. The quail are roasted, stuffed with rice, and placed into the gumbo. I would love to know how they prepare that dish.

This and right at the end make a glaze with honey, butter and ancho pepper.

If you want to do the gravy thing again, quarter them and start with the leg/thigh. After a couple minutes add in the breast. This should help prevent overcooking, as it is much easier to overcook breast than legs/thighs.
