  • About

Guinea fowl has a gamey taste that stands up well to highly flavoured accompaniments. This is a tremendously easy recipe. The guinea fowl can be replaced by chicken or poussin.

Ingredients

  • 1 guinea fowl, around 1.5 kg
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Juice and large

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5.

Rub the guinea fowl all over with one of the garlic cloves and half the orange zest, then put them inside the bird. Spread some olive oil over its skin and lightly season with salt.
