LEMON ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO STUFFING



Lemon roast chicken with chorizo stuffing image

The Spanish-style stuffing in this roast chicken dish is packed with flavour and even more so if you make it ahead of time

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Main course

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 onions , 2 unpeeled and thickly sliced, 2 finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for greasing
3 tsp sweet smoked paprika
4 lemon thyme sprigs
1 ½kg whole chicken
2 lemons , zested and then halved
100g chorizo , diced
120g cooking chorizo , meat squeezed from the skins
175g fresh white breadcrumbs
100g soft dried apricots , chopped
4 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 large egg , beaten
250ml glass white wine
400ml chicken stock
sauteed potatoes and steamed broccoli, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the sliced onions in the middle of a roasting tin. Mix the oil with 2 tsp paprika and leaves from one of the thyme sprigs. Rub all over the chicken, sit it on top of the onions and season well. Push 3 of the lemon halves inside the cavity, cover the chicken loosely with foil and roast for 45 mins.
  • Meanwhile, make the stuffing. Cook the diced chorizo over a low-medium heat until crisp and plenty of oil has collected in the pan. Scoop out the chorizo to cool, and tip the chopped onions into the pan. Soften gently for 15-20 mins, then tip into a bowl to cool.
  • Rub together the cooking chorizo meat and the breadcrumbs, as if you were rubbing butter into flour to make pastry. When the breadcrumbs are all orange, mix in the cooked chorizo and onions, apricots, parsley, leaves from another thyme sprig, remaining paprika, the lemon zest and egg. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lemon half, season with lots of pepper, then use your hands to squish everything together really well.
  • Grease a small roasting tin and push in the stuffing, roughing up the surface with a fork - this will create lots of crispy bits. Tear over the remaining thyme sprigs.
  • After 45 mins, remove the foil from the chicken and pour the wine and stock into the tin. Reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and put the chicken back in with the stuffing on a shelf below. Roast for another 45 mins until the juices between the legs and body run clear.
  • Rest the chicken for 15 mins while you bubble the pan juices to reduce a little, then carve and serve with the stuffing, reduced juices, and sautéed potatoes and steamed broccoli, if you like.

CHORIZO STUFFING



Chorizo Stuffing image

Categories     Kosher

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large sprig rosemary
1 chile de árbol, broken in half
2 cups finely diced onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
3/4 pound fresh Mexican chorizo, casing removed
3 tablespoons chopped mint
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Toss the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until they are golden brown.
  • Heat a medium pot over high heat for 1 minute. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil, the rosemary sprig, and the chile; let them sizzle in the oil about 1 minute. Stir in the onions, garlic, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to medium and cook about 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and discard the rosemary and chile.
  • While the onions are cooking, heat a medium sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Crumble the chorizo into the pan, and sauté about 8 minutes, until the sausage is crisp and cooked through. Drain the chorizo of excess oil and add it to the bowl with the onions. Stir in the breadcrumbs, mint, and parsley, and combine well. Taste for seasoning.

Tips:

  • To make the stuffing ahead of time, you can cook and crumble the chorizo and toast the almonds up to 3 days in advance. Just store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
  • If you don't have any day-old bread, you can make your own by cubing fresh bread and spreading it out on a baking sheet. Bake it at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until the bread is dry and toasted.
  • To make the stuffing even more flavorful, you can add other ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, chopped apples, or dried cranberries. You can also use different types of nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, instead of almonds.
  • If you're using a pre-cooked sausage, be sure to remove the casing before crumbling it.
  • If you don't have any chicken broth, you can use vegetable broth or water instead.

Conclusion:

This chorizo almond stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover chorizo and bread. So next time you're looking for a tasty and festive stuffing recipe, give this one a try!
