Stuffed Chicken

BBQBluesStringer

I was eggsperimenting with a stuffing for crown roast next Monday and I made what is possibly the best chicken I've ever done in the process. I cooked up two cups of Rice Tec Royal Blend, a mixture of Texmati White, Brown, Wild, and Red rices according to the recipe on the container. I added a blob of chicken base to the liquid. While that was cooking I fried up a pound of bulk mild Italian sausage and drained it. When the rice was done, I mixed the two together, added a cup of raisins and a handful of chopped pee-cans (I'm in GA now), and stuffed it into a about 8 pound oven roaster. That went indirect on the egg starting at about 280F with one piece of guava wood. I let the temperature sneak up to 360 over the next hour, and pulled the bird at 190 thigh, 170 breast, and 150 stuffing. It was FANTASTIC! I didn't add so much as a shake of salt to the recipe above. The only seasoning is what came in the sausage, and man it was good. Give it a try. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
