Boneless chicken

Another fun one is the Jacques Pepin boned out chicken. It takes me a while to do the surgery but the result is worth the effort. Stuffed with a bread stuffing and 400 degrees indirect (until thermopen reads 160 white and 180 dark). Had the neighbours over, they were impressed

    Congrats! It looks a lot better than my first ballotine chicken. It gets easier every time I do it. The first few times, I had to watch the video and pause it while deboning the chicken. I now do it in about 5 minutes without watching the video. Stuffing with nuts (cashew and pistachios) adds a lot of flavor. You should also try wrapping with bacon.

  • Both of those are really impressive. Especially the surgery part! 400 indirect - any smoking chips or straight lump?
    It's an obsession, but it's pleasin'

    @Dragonwmatches‌ - Mine was straight lump. If you use smoking chips, you should go easy because chicken takes on a lot of smoke flavor...

    @GlennM and @paqman.
    They look so good. I've seen the video and really must try this.
    Very impressive. Thanks.

    I've never deboned an entire bird, but I'm inspired now to try it.

    Looks like a good excuse to get out the meat glue for the bacon wrap

    Ha Ha. RRP ---The bone is on the outside! I used a small handful of apple chips and waited until the smoke was clear. Chicken can take on too much smoke flavour if your not careful. I would like to try some different stuffings, did spinach/mushrooms once as well This is a cool meal to serve friends, most people have never seen it before and makes a nice presentation!
