Method:
Whole Roast Stuffed Spatchcock
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C
  2. Trim excess fat from the spatchcocks, dry with paper towel and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper, fill the cavity with a washed mandarin, secure the bird around the tail and the legs together by threading with a bamboo skewer or butchers twine
  3. Place sage leaves and pancetta over the birds
  4. Place the chicken stock in a saucepan and reduce by half, mix the cornflour and water together to thicken - if desired, cook for a further 2 minutes, cover and reserve
  5. To roast the birds place the birds in a large baking pan together with the beetroot. Spray with olive oil spray and season with salt & pepper
  6. Bake for 30 minutes for smaller and 40 minutes for larger. Add eggplant after 10 minutes. Remove vegetables and birds, cover and rest for ten minutes
