Roast Guinea Fowl with Wild Mushrooms and Madeira Sauce

Roast Guinea Fowl with Wild Mushrooms and Madeira Sauce
The cooking time is shown at the top as 1 hr, but the method only shows 1/2 hr cooking time in total, with 15 mins resting time. Other recipes show guinea fowl as requiring about an hour to cook so is there a mistake in the recipe cooking times? i.e. under point 4 when the oven is reduced to 180 deg C it says to roast for a further 10 mins. Should this be 30 mins? Need an answer by tomorrow a.m. as family coming to lunch!

I would follow the recipe as written. While the meat is resting you are still cooking other things, then the meat is separated into small joints and heated again at the end so 10 minutes on each side then a rest then a reheat will be fine. Check the juices.

Thanks for your reply received this morning. However, couldn't take a chance on it yesterday, so did an alternative recipe which took about 70 mins and they were perfectly cooked. They were like small chickens, free range from France. Beautiful flavour.
