Usually, chicken or other poultry I fill under the skin on the chest with different types of stuffing. These range from bread or breadcrumbs, with different spices and herbs, to butter with garlic, sometimes giblets or even dried fruit.

I invite you to see what ingredients I used in this stuffed whole chicken recipe.

Ingredients

As you can see, we don't need a lot of ingredients, and if they were in a row, they would be a whole chicken, eggs, bread, green onions and bell pepper.

To take them in turn, we used a whole chicken, about 1,800 g, enough for six generous servings, which I wiped well with a paper towel.

For the filling, I will use eight slices of bread, which I will soak in water but can also be soaked in milk.

We still need eggs; I used six pieces, three of which I will boil until we get hard-boiled eggs, and the remaining three will be the ones that will tie the filling.

Another ingredient for colour and taste will be spring onions, and I chose to put six pieces, half of the yellow bell pepper, enough for our filling, and perhaps the most important ingredient is a handful of parsley.

Let's Prepare the Ingredients

We start with our chicken because we must prepare it to fill it. We must peel the skin off the breast because we will put the filling there. For this, I will first use a wooden spoon, gently peeling the skin off the chicken breast with its handle.

After that, I will continue the operation with the help of my hand, which I will insert under the skin until I get the hole to be filled.

Now that the chicken is ready, let's see the ingredients for the filling. Cut the spring onion into small ½ inch pieces and half of the bell pepper.

How to Make the Baked Stuffed Whole Chicken Recipe?

Make the Filling

Simple, we need to mix the ingredients and season them. We will take a bigger mixing bowl to work easier, putting the onion and the chopped pepper.

Add the soaked bread that I squeezed out of the water.

This is followed by uncooked eggs that we break directly into the bowl and now season with a teaspoon of sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, a teaspoon of dried thyme, and a teaspoon of a vegetable mix for soups.

Mix everything well with a wooden spoon, then add finely chopped boiled eggs and chopped parsley, mixing again.

And with that, our filling is ready, and we will fill the chicken.

How to Fill the Whole Chicken?

The simplest is with the help of a spoon, putting little by little under the skin and pressing lightly to get the filling as deep as possible. If you find it difficult, you can ask someone to help you hold the skin; it is much easier for two.

After filling the chicken, close the skin with toothpicks or kitchen needles, but be careful not to break the skin. In the cavity of the chicken, I inserted a lemon which I prick with a knife. Then I tie the chicken's legs so that the filling did not come out from under the skin.

Now we can prepare the stuffed chicken for baking.

Baking the Chicken

I chose to bake in a heat-resistant glass oven tray, which I think is the most suitable for this preparation. We place the chicken on the tray, followed by its seasoning. I poured about 150 ml of sunflower oil on top, after which I seasoned it with:

  • one teaspoon of sea salt,
  • one teaspoon of thyme,
  • one teaspoon of freshly ground pepper,
  • one teaspoon of Hungarian Paprika,
  • a tablespoon of marjoram.

Because I had leftovers from the filling, I formed two balls from them and placed them in the tray. After, I pour about 150 ml of beer into the tray for an extra aroma and taste.

Do many people ask how long it takes to bake a stuffed chicken? Cover the baking tray with aluminium foil (or if you have a glass lid) and put it in the oven at 200 degrees for an hour and a half. Then remove the foil or lid.

Using a spoon, sprinkle the chicken with the juice from the pan, and put it back in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

That's it. This is the delicious baked stuffed whole chicken recipe, in my favourite version, ready to serve.

Serving the Dish

This stuffed whole chicken should be served hot, along with various side dishes; I chose to make boiled potatoes with parsley, which was a winning option.
