Chicken Stuffing

ATOMIC LEVEL OF FLAVOUR INSIDE

CHICKEN STUFFING - JUST ADD WATER!

The Head Rooster's stuffing doesn't just turn up for the holidays — though Christmas and Thanksgiving are when it really struts its stuff. Properly herby, dead easy to whip up, and the kind of golden, savoury goodness that steals the show off the bird. Stuff it, roast it, fight over the leftovers. Good all year round.

BASIC STUFFING MIX

Add 150mL of hot water to 200g (2/3 cup) of Atomic Chicken Stuffing. Mix well and pack loosely in the bird. This is enough for a large family size chook.

 Head Rooster Pro Tip: Substitute the water for your favourite beer, white wine or cider.

Note: Stuffing textures may vary, use more liquid for moister stuffing and less for dryer.

CLASSIC ROAST CHARCOAL CHICKEN – better than a store bought one

Ingredients 

·  1 whole family sized chicken (we love Aussie free-range chooks)

·  Atomic Chicken Basic Stuffing Mix – as per above recipe

·  Atomic Chicken Charcoal Chicken rub

·  Olive oil

The Cooking Bit

-  Pre-heat your oven to 200˚C. If you can cook over coals on a BBQ Spit or Rotisserie, it is a wonderful experience and will bring out an extra level of flavour.

- Rinse the chicken, then dry it very well with paper towels, inside and out. The less it steams, the drier the heat, the better.

-  Loosely pack the prepared Atomic Chicken Stuffing into the chook and then tie the legs and parson's nose together with butchers/kitchen string.

-  Drizzle olive oil over the entire chook and sprinkle with Atomic Chicken Charcoal Chicken rub. For an even better result add butter under the skin of the chook breasts.

-  Chuck the chicken in a roasting pan breast side up and place in the oven.

-  Roast the chicken until golden brown with an internal temp of not less than 75˚C (approx. 75min).  Throw into the same pan your favourite vegies – potatoes, onions, carrots, pumpkin etc. They will also love a sprinkle of Atomic Chicken Charcoal Chicken rub.

-  When cooked, rest the chicken for 15min in a warm place, then serve and enjoy.

HEAD ROOSTER PRO TIP To take it to the level and impress your family and friends even more, add some pine nuts, fresh herbs and lemon rind to the stuffing mix.
