INSIDE-OUT "STUFFED" CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM DRESSING



Inside-Out

Baking stuffing inside the bird means risking dry meat. By resting your chicken atop this mushroom-sage dressing, the bread absorbs juices while toasting, and the chicken roasts perfectly.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon, softened
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced crosswise
3 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
6 cups day-old rustic-bread cubes (1 inch)
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Cook onion, celery, and garlic until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from skillet. Working in 2 batches, cook mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter. Add to onion mixture.
  • Stir in bread, stock, juice, and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Return to skillet.
  • Place chicken, breast side up, on stuffing, and tuck wings under. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub skin with softened butter, and season with salt.
  • Roast for 30 minutes. Rotate skillet, and roast chicken until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH INSIDE OUT STUFFING



Roast Chicken With Inside Out Stuffing image

This recipe will serve about four people. If cooking it for a larger group, I recommend doing two chooks in one tray and making the stuffing in another tray. Scoop and add some of the chicken juices to the stuffing tray as that's when the magic happens. Alternatively, make the chicken first and then while it's resting, bake the stuffing. If avoiding nuts, use seeds instead.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1.6kg free-range chicken
Sea salt
1/2 lemon
7-8 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon butter or ghee (coconut oil or olive oil can also be used)
6-7 rashers of bacon, diced
1 large leek, pale and light green part, diced finely
1 1/3 cup mixed nuts or seeds (macadamia, almonds, pecans and pumpkin seeds)
Zest of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic
2 anchovies (optional but amazing, not fishy at all)
10 fresh sage leaves
Generous pinch of salt
1/4 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot (rice, potato or buckwheat flour could also be used)
A few extra sage leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 °C/395 °F.
  • Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with sea salt and stuff the lemon half and sage leaves inside. Tie the legs together (optional, will work just as well if they are not tied).
  • Melt coconut oil and rub all over the chicken. Sift through paprika and turmeric over back and front of the chicken and sprinkle liberally with sea salt. These spices will add a lovely yellow/orange colour to the skin. Rub everything in and place the chook in a large baking tray, breast side up.
  • Place the tray in the oven, middle shelf, not too close to the grill to prevent burning. Cook for 45 minutes and in the meantime start on the stuffing
  • Heat a large frying pan with butter over medium heat. Add bacon and leeks and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.
  • Place nuts, lemon zest, garlic, anchovies, sage and a little sea salt in a food processor. Process into fine crumbs, for about 20-30 seconds. Then, add the cooked leeks and bacon and process for 5-10 seconds. Add tapioca flour and process for a further 5-10 seconds, until well combined and the mixture starts coming off the sides. Set aside.
  • After 45 minutes, take the chicken tray out of the oven. Bathe the chicken with some of the oily juices in the tray and then spread the stuffing mixture around the chicken (see pics). You might have a bit of chicken juice inside the cavity, I recommend to tiIt the chicken slightly to let some of it spill out into the tray to mix with the stuffing. It's a wonderful thing. Place back in the oven for 30 minutes. Half way through, give the stuffing a little stir so it browns evenly.
  • Let the chicken and the stuffing rest out of the oven, covered loosely with foil or a towel, for about 10 minutes before carving. You could also turn the chicken upside down so that the juices rush back to the chicken breast.
  • Serve a few pieces of chicken with a side of stuffing on the side.
  • Tip: if the chicken breast skin looks like it's browning too quickly, cover it lovely with a piece of foil to protect it from burning. You can do the same to the legs.

SIMPLE CHICKEN STUFFING



Simple Chicken Stuffing image

This is how I often stuff chicken, probably not as good as some of the more elaborate recipes but better than using pre-packaged stuffing. This is enough for a small chicken, double the quantities for a large chicken. While a matter of personal prference I don't go too overboard chopping the onion / celery finely and like it to have a slightly chunky texture.

1 large egg
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons garlic
1 teaspoon dried tarragon

  • Stuff chicken and cook as per usual.
  • This is quite a moist firm mix so you could also roll into a firm pattie and cook to one side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stuffing to add flavor and texture. Some good options include celery, onion, carrots, mushrooms, and apples.
  • If you're using a boxed stuffing mix, be sure to add some moisture to it, such as chicken broth or milk. This will help to prevent the stuffing from becoming dry.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts. If you do, they will be difficult to cook evenly.
  • If you're using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken, be sure to insert it into the thickest part of the breast.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.

Inside-out chicken and stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken and stuffing turns out perfectly every time.
