After a mysterious Christmas Eve, we set delicious dishes at the Christmas table. While each family has its own traditions, some of the Christmas dishes are similar: a variety of meat rolls or fried poultry dishes, roasted chicken. The stuffing for chicken can be very different depending on the abilities and creativity of each hostess. Roasted stuffed chicken recipe is suitable for the holidays, because you can eat it either straight out of the oven or cooled.
When preparing stuffed chicken, first the chicken must be properly boned. Without the bones, it will not only cut better, but will also look better and bake with delicious filling. The most suitable meat for preparing the filling would be minced chicken thigh with plenty of flavor and moisture. Dried berries, nuts and fruits pair well with it. You should not use bread or breadcrumbs. If you want to make stuffed chicken recipe perfect, marinate it before stuffing. Marinate can be simply salt, pepper and garlic. The chicken should marinate for about an hour, and better yet – overnight.
The bird with the filling is baked in the oven for one hour. If you want its surface to shine, grease it with mayonnaise or honey mixed with soy, or caramel with cumin or maple syrup.
Rice, fried fruits: apples and pears are the best garnishes for fried chicken. To prevent the fruit from falling apart when baked, roast it a bit beforehand: cut it in half and sprinkle with sugar to caramelize it when placed on a hot pan. Then bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes. The fruit prepared this way retains its juice better.
