I think every night would be a little excessive, but I would get much better ay my tying-

My 4th of 5th attempt at Chicken Ballotine.  No two ever seem to be alike and none of them ever look like Pepin's do. But I think Pepin has about a 4,987 chicken head start over me.

Whole chicken, stuffed with Zatarans and tied to the best of my ability-

Raised direct with a few green sticks from the apple tree

After about an hour at 315F I slipped the lid off of my dutch underneath with some taters.  The chicken drippings and the taters played quite nicely together while I made an adult beverage

A flip for even browning (80 Min mark or so)

Read 195-199 on the thermapen so it was time to plate
image
First slice-

Then I hit the motherlode of rice-

I cannot wait to do my next one.  Perhaps changing the stuffing up more to resemble a stuffed paella with shrimps, trinity, & some chilies.

Should make a nice sandwich for lunch-
