What each ingredient does
- Guinea fowl
- Main protein; its meat and skin brown and set as it roasts.
- Stuffing
- Fills the cavity and adds flavor and some moisture to the meat as it cooks.
- Currant jelly
- Adds sweetness and tartness that balance the rich meat.
The step that matters
Roast the guinea fowl like you would a duck or chicken.. Guinea fowl is leaner than duck and dries out easily once it passes doneness. Cook it until the thickest part of the meat is cooked through, and check it early, since the leaner meat has less fat to protect it from overcooking.
