Recipe Review

Fabulous chicken with an amazing stuffing.

The stuffing includes nuts (pine, almond), spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, alspice), parsley, rice, onion, and currents. I followed the instructions except that I discovered we had no white long-grain rice. I substituted brown short-grain rice (its what we had), and it wasn't quite cooked at the end. I think though, that had I used white rice, it would have been perfect.

I also modified my cooking method, using the spatch-cocked chicken described here on Serious Eats. I piled the stuffing in a baking pan, placed the chicken on top. The result was amazing - thighs cooked perfectly, as well as moist and perfectly cooked breasts. The skin was crunchy and delicious.

I will try this recipe again with wite rice. Very wonderful combination of flavors.
