Pat the guinea fowl dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sear the guinea fowl on all sides until golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the guinea fowl and set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic, onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes.

Return the guinea fowl to the skillet, add chicken stock, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and lemon slices.

Cover and transfer to the oven; roast for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with the pan juices and vegetables.
