Add halved quails and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove quail from the marinade, shake off excess, and place cut-sides up on a broiler pan. Discard the remaining marinade. Broil in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and flip quail so cut-sides are facing down. Broil until skin is browned and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes, keeping a constant eye on the oven to prevent burning. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cook's Note: You can find oyster sauce, xa xiu powder, and Chinese five-spice powder in any Asian grocery store. If you have trouble finding quail, check the Asian grocery store's freezer section.
