So here is my first attempt to make a chicken skin stuffed with ground chicken meat, walnuts, prunes and some other ingredients. I’ve got a recipe for a friend of mine and had to try.
It is a bit tricky game to get chicken out of its skin w/o damaging the skin, but I managed it (and prepared step-by-step instructions with photos along the way).
The only hiccup I had on the way was with bacon. The smoked bacon I used had very powerful and distinctive taste, and it mostly took over the taste of other ingredients. So for this recipe I suggest to use smaller amount of non-smoked bacon, or replace it with ground pork instead.
Ingredients:
1 big whole chicken
3oz-4oz of bacon (can be substituted with pork meat or skipped altogether)
1 egg
4 oz of dried pitted prunes
4 oz of cleaned walnuts
2-3 small cloves of garlic
Small bunch of green parsley
Ground black pepper (and other spices you like with the chicken) to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons of tkemali sauce (can be replaced with honey and melted butter mix)
A bit of oil
How to prepare, step-by-step:
Prepare ingredients: rinse prunes with hot water and drain, remove pits if needed; rinse chicken outside and inside, pat it dry with paper towel; rinse parsley:
