Maple sausage stuffed chicken ballotine wrapped in bacon! (lots of pics)

The title says it all... I am getting better and better every time. This time, I stuffed the chicken ballotine with a mix of bread chicken stuffing and maple sausage. My best so far. I made a dry rub using a BBQ spice mix from Épices de Cru (grinded the spices in a mortar and added maple sugar).

Thanks for looking!

Wow that's a wonderful cook! Congratulations!
This will give me the inspiration to try again with this method. The one I attempted today ended up looking like a chicken blob. I mistakenly removed the bones from one of the wings before I peeled the skin off the carcass, resulting in a half pulled carcass with all sorts of bones sticking out. Ah well... Live and learn.
Again, that's a fine looking cook. I like the maple sausage stuffing idea a lot. -

@berndcrisp , @Fred19Flintstone, @Little Steven - Thanks, it was fantastic.
@ChillyWillis - Seriously, try again... It will get easier every time you do it. This one took me about 5 minutes to do.
@Skiddymarker - It was really good with the BBQ sauce you sent me. Every one loved it! Thanks again.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -

Classy place settings too! Mine are usually paper plates and red solo cups. There is always the big roll of paper towels for napkins. I am having some friends over Sunday for a guinea pig mystery meal. No, we are not eating guinea pigs. I like to try out new recipes on unsuspecting friends. I am thinking stuffed meatloaf but may do a little more research on this type of cook. Thanks for the idea.

Hmm, after watching a video on how to de-bone a chicken, I think it will be stuffed meatloaf!

Stuffed meatloaf sounds good. There was a post recently about one stuffed with mac & cheese and another one stuffed with mashed potatoes. Both good ideas!timekpr1 said:I am thinking stuffed meatloaf but may do a little more research on this type of cook. Thanks for the idea.
Here's a link to the youtube instructions for the chicken ballotine:

LOL, you can prep it the day before so if you have problems, you can always revert back to stuffed meatloaf...timekpr1 said:Hmm, after watching a video on how to de-bone a chicken, I think it will be stuffed meatloaf!

That looks incredible @Paqman - nice work! With the bacon and sausage it is like back yard BBQ fused with gourmet cooking...a fattie inspired chicken Ballotine!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

You have perfected the ballotine !!
Where do you go from here ? ?Toronto -
Wow! care to share more about the maple sausage please, homemade or store bought, did you use whole sausages or removed the casing? On my to-do list!canuckland

Not sure... This one was sweet because of the maple saussage. @NPHuskerFL made one stuffed with vegetables and @ChillyWillis made one with pesto, roasted red peppers, tomatoes and mozzarella. Both looked mighty tasty. Possibilities are endless.pantsypants said:You have perfected the ballotine !!

I am working on sides to accompany it. I think that I am onto something but it is not cooked on the egg: sweet corn fritters. More to come in the next few days. I am cooking one again saturday. SWMBO wants me to do the maple sausages stuffing again.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -
I got the sausages from my butcher. I removed the casing. They were raw when I stuffed the chicken.Canugghead said:Wow! care to share more about the maple sausage please, homemade or store bought, did you use whole sausages or removed the casing? On my to-do list!

If you wanted to get really crazy with it you could make several different types of stuffing, debone a turkey, duck, and chicken and make a turducken.pantsypants said:You have perfected the ballotine !!
