  • Lori Tetrick - Looks delicious – I can see why you’re proud of it. So is guinea meat sort of like filet mignon – you need to wrap it with bacon because it has so little fat?ReplyCancel

  • Simple Livin' gal - Lori —

    I would say that of the different recipes I’ve tried — this was by far the best for guinea hens and primarily because of the bacon. It kept the meat tender and juicy. I’m certain there are other ways to bypass the bacon like soaking the bird in buttermilk overnight. I haven;t tried the buttermilk trick on anything other than chicken and turkey. Try it and let me know how it goes!

    Blessings!
