Meditteranean Style Stuffed Deboned Chicken (pic intensive)
Decided to give Jaques Pepin's technique out last night by deboning a whole chicken. I remember seeing his video years ago on another forum and forgot about it until recently. Just saw someone on this forum do the technique (sorry, I can't remember who), and it got me thinking about it again. Here is the link to Jaques Pepin's video. He makes it look a lot easier than it actually is, but all in all it wasn't too difficult I guess.
Stuffed mine with Prosciutto, Artichokes, Kalamata Olives, Capers and Feta Cheese.
Saved the "Chicken Lollipops" and threw those on the grill for an appetizer.
The Mrs. made a homemade Greek Dressing that I drizzled on. The taste was incredible!
Drizzled on a little Greek Dressing on the whole chicken as well, to finish.

Definitely one of the best things I've ever egged up!

That is amazingly better looking than mine was. I didn't even want to post a pic since the stuffing was comming out and I couldn't get mine tied very neatly. Yours looks absolutely perfect!In Manchester, TNVol For Life!

Wow! So I have three questions:
1) How long did it take?
2) What was the hardest part of the operation?
3) What curse words did you use during the operation?In the Hinterlands between Cumming and Gainesville, GA

Thanks for the kind words, folks!
@Cymbaline65, it really wasn't all that bad. It did take me awhile longer than it took Pepin. I kept having to pause the video over and over so as not to get lost. LOL I'm guessing it took me around 35 minutes to debone, but much of that time was spent washing my hands going back and forth between cutting the chicken and pausing the video on my phone. There wasn't really any part of it that was difficult...just took a little while to do since it was my first go at it. And no curse words were said.

looks great.

Looks fantastic! Moist looking plate after the carving, slurp!I ran through the Pepin video twice, and rewound a few tricky parts until I was sure I had it down. Made the first one easy, I kind of massacred the second one (got cocky) so I re-watched the video before attempting the third time, which I made last night as well. Probably took less than 5 minutes that time, so it does get easier.Your post makes me want to get experimental with stuffing now.
