Ingredients

  • 1 fresh chicken
  • 3 small green apples
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • bunch fresh parsley
  • bunch zest from 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  • 1 large egg

Method

  • De-bone the chicken.
  • This step is incredibly difficult to describe, I would suggest watching a video on YouTube.
  • Basically you want all the bones out, without dismantling the chicken.
  • Start by cutting out the wishbone, cutting off the tips of the wings and then cut the back of the chicken open.
  • Cut the wings and legs and pull out the bones by breaking them, cutting around and scraping away the meat.
  • Then tear out the carcass.
  • Now it's time to make the stuffing.
  • You can create what ever type of stuffing you like.
  • With this chicken I combine chopped green apple, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, lemon zest and 1 egg.
  • Season the bird inside and out with the dry ingredients.
  • Insert your stuffing into the legs and spread over the breast meat.
  • Fold the chicken and tie it back together carefully using butchers twine.
  • Pan sear the chicken on all sides with veg oil before baking it in the oven for 1 hour at 375.
  • Once cooked let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
  • This will allow the natural juices to redistribute back into the meat.
