Guinea Fowl

Farmed guinea fowl are raised over 18 weeks to attain a weight of 750g-1.1kg. The flesh has a mild, nutty flavour and carries little fat, which means that it is inclined to be dry if overcooked. A few slices of fatty bacon laid across the breast before roasting help to keep the meat moist and juicy. An average-sized guinea fowl is enough for 2 people.
