Potato Stuffed Grilled Chicken


If you are looking for some interesting whole chicken recipes for parties or get together, then try this easy and delicious grilled chicken stuffed with potatoes and roasted along with cherry tomatoes and sliced onion. I have placed bacon on top of the chicken so that the fat from bacon melts and roast the chicken beautifully and the additional butter is to enhance the taste and crispiness of the chicken. The juice from the stuffed lemon also gives a lovely flavor and it is optional. This can be served with any flavored dip or mint curd chutney.


Ingredients:

1 Whole chicken
1 Tsp Red chilli powder
1 Tsp Cheddar cheese powder ( Optional )
1 Tbsp Crushed Black pepper
1 Tbsp Mixed herbs ( Oregano, Thyme Rosemary, basil and Dill )
2 Tbsp Coarse salt
3 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Potatoes, cubed
1 Lemon
Handful of Mint leaves
1 Onion, sliced ( I have used white onions in this recipe )
6 Cherry Tomatoes
3 Bacon strips
1 Tsp Butter, for final brushing

Method :

Boil 2 Cups water in a pan and add the cubed potatoes and lemon.

Cook it for 5 minutes and switch off the flame. keep aside.

Clean and wash the whole chicken.

Now add Chilli powder followed by cheese powder, pepper powder, mixed herbs, salt. mint leaves and olive oil and rub it all over the chicken.

Marinate it for half an hour.

Now prick the lemon and place it inside the chicken along with few potatoes and one piece of bacon.

Tie the chicken with thread so that the filling doesn't come out.

Place the potato stuffed chicken on the baking tray and place the remaining potatoes along with the sliced onions and cherry tomatoes on the tray.

Now place the remaining bacon strips on top of the stuffed chicken and grill it in a pre heated oven.

After 15 mins, remove the chicken and brush butter on top of it.

After half an hour, slowly turn the chicken other and grill it again.

After 45 mins, brush the remaining butter and continue to grill.

Altogether, grill the chicken for 1 hour 15 mins.

If  the chicken turns black on top, place an aluminum foil while grilling.

Once done, Remove from the grill, apply 1 Tsp butter and remove the tied thread.

Slice and serve hot.


Serving Options :

Serve it hot with any flavored dip or Mint curd chutney.
