Deboned a chicken, stuffed it with bread stuffing and sweet maple sausage.  Wrapped with... bacon.

90 minutes @ 350-400F
IT was 170F, let it rest for 10 minutes, final IT 178F

Served with beets salad (beets, feta cheese, olive oil, thyme, and garam masala), baked potatoes, and fruit chutney.

    Excellent!  The deboning experts are coming out lately (I'd have to pass on the beets, however).

    You did a neat and clean deboning job. Beautiful bird.  Just repeat that two more times and you have a turducken, easy peasy  ;)

    btw, you could have weaved the bacon, jk.

    @lousubcap Thanks for sharing the video, that’s the one I was originally watching but it got removed and I could not find it anymore.  I guess it got reposted by someone else.

    Here’s a more recent and shorter version but not as good as the original: https://youtu.be/i_ZkAHCR1D0

    He doesn’t talk about lil lollipops in this one.

    I am down to about 5 minutes on the deboning process.  Prepping the whole thing takes me about 30 minutes I would say.

    I used to do these about once a month or so but last time was about a year ago.  I forgot how good they are and I think that they are even better sliced cold the next day.  😳

    Nice, the only way to top that is some foie gras 😉

    Did you make the bagel too? I should make some bagel, been a while.

    You bet!  Having it for lunch again served with Borscht.



    @Canugghead The bagelwiches are from Costco, they are flat bagels without a hole to make... sandwiches. Foie gras would probably be good but I purchased a whole tube of homemade liver pâté from a Balkanese charcuterie so it has to go 🤣😂.  I LOVE foie gras but I would seriously hesitate if I had to chose one or the other, this liver pâté is ridiculously good.

    Before COVID.... it was on our regular rotation when entertaining... It can be prepared ahead of time, requires little attention when cooking, feeds several guests, stuffing can be modified so it is never the same.

    Just about everything that needs to be said, has been said, by just about everybody.  So, I am here just to say that this is a damn fine cook and gives me some great ideas.  Nicely done!
