Chicken & Stuffing Ingredients:
- Small Whole Chicken
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Tsp Oregano
- 1 Spring Onion sliced
- 250 g Sausage Meat
- 2 Slices Stale Bread
- 2 Tbsp Breadcrumbs heaped
- 1 Tbsp Sage
- 1 Tsp Parsley
- 1 Tsp Thyme
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Slice up stale bread slices into crouton chunks, toss in a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Air fry for 4 minutes at 180c/360f.
- Whilst the air fryer is making croutons add the rest of the stuffing ingredients into a bowl. Which includes the spring onion that you have sliced, sausage meat, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, sage, and parsley.
- Add in the croutons and mix with your hands to make a huge stuffing ball.
- Hold the chicken up and place the stuffing into the cavity, any leftover stuffing can then be reserved for stuffing balls.
- Place the whole chicken breast side up on your clean chopping board. Tie the legs with some string. Smoother in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano. Place the chicken, breast side up into the air fryer basket. Be careful making sure no stuffing falls out. Air fry for 30 minutes at 170c/340f.
- When the air fryer beeps, turn over and cook for a final 20 minutes on the other side on the same temp, making sure you add oil and seasoning to the other side.
- Then when it beeps allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
Leftovers. Place leftovers into the fridge and you can reheat them the next day. Any leftover stuffing can be placed in the freezer uncooked and frozen for some future make ahead stuffing balls.
Method. The usual method for cooking a whole chicken is breast side down. We do the opposite in this recipe, otherwise the stuffing will fall out.
Quantity. Stick to a small whole chicken if you can. As with the chicken a big one will take too long to cook with the stuffing, and it will be easy to dry it out.
