Ingredients

  • Guinea fowl - 1 whole (approximately 1.2 kg)
  • Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
  • Fresh thyme - 2 sprigs
  • Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs
  • Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
  • Lemon - 1, zested and juiced
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
  • Carrots - 2, cut into chunks
  • Potatoes - 2, cut into quarters
  • Onion - 1, quartered
  • Chicken broth - 250 ml

Steps

  1. Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat (about 200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  3. Rinse the guinea fowl under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  4. Rub the marinade all over the guinea fowl, making sure to get underneath the skin for maximum flavor.
  5. Stuff the cavity of the guinea fowl with the thyme, rosemary, and a few lemon slices.
  6. In a large bowl, toss the carrots, potatoes, and onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Place the guinea fowl on a roasting rack in a BBQ-safe pan and surround it with the vegetables.
  8. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  9. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast on the BBQ for 1 hour.
  10. After 1 hour, remove the foil and continue to cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C and the skin is golden brown.
  11. Remove from the BBQ and let the guinea fowl rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  12. Serve the carved guinea fowl with the roasted vegetables and drizzle some of the pan juices over the top.
