Rice Stuffed Whole Chicken Roast | Special Recipe | Festive Recipe | Party Recipe
This recipe is very traditional in English cuisine. Whole chicken roast always is a perfect food for any party. Here I have used a stuffing of chicken pieces, dry fruits & rice in the cavity of the whole chicken which makes it more rich & complete for me. It is normally served with some veggies which are baked with chicken only. Its not a much tricky dish. It's a very easy to make dish which are really outstanding for any special day. So, lets go to the recipe.

How to Make:
- Pat dry the washed chicken with kitchen tissue. Keep aside.
- Then take all ingredients in a bowl for making the marinade. Mix well.
- Now marinate the chicken with that. Make sure the marinade also should go under the chicken skin as much as possible.
- Keep it in fridge for 2 hours.
- Next we will make the stuffing. For that, take oil in a pan.
- Add butter and allow it to melt.
- Now add onion and fry until it changes the colour.
- Then add galic and saute for couple of minutes.
- Add chicken and season with some salt.
- Then cover and cook for 7 minutes in medium heat.
- Add green chilli.
- After that add rice and stir well.
- Season with black pepper followed by dried rosemary.
- Add crushed peanuts followed by raisins, cashew nuts & walnuts.
- Squeeze the lemon in it.
- Give final toss and turn off the heat. Keep aside.
- Now take all veggies in a baking tray and marinate with spices and oil. Squeeze orange and lemon it it. Set aside.
- Fill the cavity of chicken with stuffing.
- Then tie the chicken legs with kitchen twine to make sure nothing comes out while baking.
- Then place into center of baking tray with all veggies.
- Bake for 65 minutes uncovered at 180°C in a preheated oven.
- Then take out and give it a 30 minutes standing time before serving.
My Tip:
- When chicken is done, if you are not sure it's completely done or not, you can check it by cutting in breast and leg joint with a knife. If juice comes out clean then it's completely done. but if you can see something is pink or red that means you need to bake few more minutes.
- Baking time may vary in oven to oven.
- Pat dry of chicken at first is very necessary step for this recipe to marinate the chicken properly.
- Roasted chicken should be nice golden brown after baking. But if you don't want brown colour in chicken, then bake the chicken covering with a aluminum foil.
