Soldato
I stumbled across this awesome video for deboning a chicken the other day so thought I'd give it a try!
Chickens are half price at waitrose at the moment so grab one and give it a go!
Haven't eaten it yet, gonna have it cold for lunch all week. I stuffed it with some paxo that I added leftover veg/herbs to and some redcurrant jelly.
Sorry for lack of preparation photos too, my hands were a bit mucky! Not the most appetising looking images either.. But it looks good in real life!
Before
After
Things I learnt:
He makes it look really easy! I had to wrestle with the bird a bit but got there in the end. Practice makes perfect I guess!
I left the bird out the fridge to get to room temperature, this made it quite slippery and soft. I wonder whether it would have been easier if it had been cold... Something to try next time perhaps.
Stuffing expands, I overfilled it and some oozed out in to the dish during cooking.
