Bone In

Bone-in guinea fowl breast keeps rib structure under the meat—slightly longer cooking, more roast-bird character, excellent when you want carving drama without a whole bird. Lean poultry sits between chicken and pheasant—slightly gamey with darkish white meat. Season under the skin, roast or pan-finish, rest before slicing from the bone. Juicier than a thin boneless fillet. Bard or baste; legs need longer than breast; pot-roast is excellent.
