We prepared the bird and herbs as above...but then stoved it with a pork, herb and lemon stuffing and covered the bird in bacon before wrapping it up in the dough.<br /><br />We cooked it for 2hrs 30mins, which wasn't enough time unfortunately and when we served it to the judges the meat on the topside of the bird was still slightly raw (never grand). However, the cracking of the crust, the aromas that come gushing out and the spectacular site of the bacon covered bird - left the judges none the wiser..and we sneakily presented them with chicken tasters from the sides, the awesome stuffing and flipping-delicious bacon. <br /><br />It impressed the socks off everyone!So much so, winner (who'se 4 course meal was hard to compete with) credited us with first place in their acceptance speech. (the Braai competition was taken very seriosuly ;)<br /><br />thanks again for the recipeeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853338957254805077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638134013232210124.post-81465913544307470582009-09-21T02:10:56.693-07:002009-09-21T02:10:56.693-07:00Karen, one word for you: champion.

If you're looking at a stuffing you should try mixing bread crumbs and parsley with the meat from chicken sausage (remove the skin). That should get you the blue ribbon for sure!Jamie Whonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638134013232210124.post-51080022560944705502009-09-21T00:13:05.353-07:002009-09-21T00:13:05.353-07:00Had a trial-run with the breaded-bird on the braai...Had a trial-run with the breaded-bird on the braai...a smashing success! Chicken was so tender it fell off the bones...and oh so so so very tasty!<br /><br />For Thursday's competition we're considering a tasty stuffing and wrapping the bird in bacon. Will add a bit of salt to the bread dough (yes, we ate it - it was too good not too with all those herbs on it and the smokey braai flavour) and doing some research into other options to make it tastier.<br /><br />But we're thrilled with the recipe, and sure we'll steal first place!

You would need something like that... but as long as you made the fire properly (indirect heat) and kept the temperature constant my adding coals as you went along you could, as you say, have a shoo-in for National Braai Day honours.

But after you've eaten, shred the rest of the meat and use it for lunch the next day. Put in on some sourdough with avo and cottage cheese or use it in a wrap with cherry tomatoes, rocket and some roasted butternut. Throw some into a pasta with mushrooms, use it in a couscous salad etc. You get the vibe hey? One cooked chicken can feed a student like 3 times! If it is WAY too much just freeze the meat after you have de-boned it. It'll keep for a while.Jamie Whonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638134013232210124.post-42806430507877469782009-09-16T04:00:48.969-07:002009-09-16T04:00:48.969-07:00Hi Jamie

This looks like a great idea, I think I'll try it tonight. <br /><br />I'm a student tho, and I tend to cook for one. Do you think it would be as good if I just used individual chicken pieces? If so, which part of the chicken would be best?mEeLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652248082293907610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638134013232210124.post-84226705394697209972009-09-16T04:00:47.872-07:002009-09-16T04:00:47.872-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.mEeLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652248082293907610noreply@blogger.com
