Chicken experiment.

I started out this morning thinking I would make a simple roast chicken. i had one in the fridge ready to roll.


Things took a bit of a left turn from there. I deboned the buzzard and put it in a brine with some sage.


Out of the brine, patted dry and ready for some stuffing. I had some artichoke hearts and prosciutto in the fridge and I sweated some onion garlic mushrooms and spinach down as well.


Rolled it up and tied it.


On the Traeger we go.


I made some polenta with some corn in it and that went on too.

Bird getting a rest.


Plated up with some spicy red chili bean puree and broccoli.


Poured a glass of milk and got to work. Thanks for looking guys.

great meal partner. was it hard to d bone the chicken. it looked cool. the last shot was my favorite. you had me w/ the milk.

Great looking chicken wrap..., with those stuffings it had to be delicious!

Awesome cook, that chicken looks killer!

Looks like it was a great left turn you took!! I would love a plate of that chicken.

Great meal! I love the artichokes in the stuffing. Great idea! I love the polenta too.

Spark it was a lot easier than I thought it would be to debone that bird. My knife took a bit of a beating on the first side but the second side went really well.
thanks for the kind words guys. If I make this one again the only thing I will do differently is chop the artichokes a bit. They gave me some trouble.

Great looking chicken

I have spatchocked a chicken before but never de-boned one. Very cool idea

That plate is making me hungry!
