    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Clean the guinea fowl, and pat it completely dry with paper towels.

    2

    Season the guinea fowl inside and out with salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan, and drizzle with olive oil.

    3

    Halve one of the lemons and place it inside the guinea fowl along with the fresh thyme sprigs and garlic cloves.

    4

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the honey and the juice of the remaining lemon. Whisk well to combine, then brush the glaze all over the guinea fowl.

    5

    Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the bird moist during cooking. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast the guinea fowl for 60-70 minutes.

    6

    Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to turn golden brown and crispy. Baste the guinea fowl occasionally with the pan juices to prevent it from drying out.

    7

    Let the guinea fowl rest for 10 minutes after roasting before carving. Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
