Method

Stuffing

  • Saute the onion and bacon in a small frying pan. Allow to cool and mix with remaining ingredients, season to taste

Classic Roast Spatchcock

  • Preheat oven to 200°C
  • Trim excess fat from the spatchcocks, dry with paper towel, fill the cavity with the stuffing, and secure the bird around the tail and the legs together by threading with a bamboo skewer and season with sea salt and ground black pepper
  • Place the birds in a large baking pan together with the potato and pumpkin. Brush with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes for smaller and 40 minutes for larger spatchcock
  • Add zucchini after 10 minutes. Remove vegetables and birds, cover and rest for 10 minutes
  • Whilst the birds are resting add the chicken stock to the pan juices. Stir until well combined and liquid reduces (if you need to thicken, combine a little cornflour with water)

Tips & Hints:

  • Appliance temperatures vary so the above times provide an indication of temperature and time required
  • Test the bird is cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the bird. The juices should run clear

Homemade Gravy

  • For the Gravy place the chicken stock in a saucepan and reduce by half
  • mix the cornflour and water together to thicken
  • cook for a further 2 minutes, over and reserve

Tips & Hints:

  • If you wish you can purchase pre made gravy

Minted Pea Mash

  • Heat the chicken stock and add the peas, cook until tender. Remove from the heat and add the mint, mash roughly
