Deep Fried Stuffed Chicken
Crispy deep fried chicken with a aromatic sausage meat stuffing
Ingredients
1 x whole poussin
1 tbsp fish sauce for marinating
Butchers twine
vegetable oil for deep frying
The Stuffing Ingredients
400g sausage meat
4 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
The Paste
4 spring onions, finely chopped
1 lemongrass, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
Nuoc cham
1 red chilli
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lime
1 Tbsp palm sugar
2 Tbsp fish sauce
Method
Preparation
Finely chop all ‘The Paste’ ingredients and then pound until you’ve achieved a fine paste and add fish sauce, soy sauce, and palm sugar. Combine with the sausage meat and set aside in the fridge to marinate, 30 minutes minimum.
De-bone the chicken, trying to keep the whole chicken intact (follow video instructions). Once deboned, stuff the chicken so that it’s completely full and then truss the chicken with butchers twine. Rub 1 tbsp fish sauce all around the chicken and set aside for a further 30 minutes
Cooking
- Steam the chicken for 25 minutes and then remove and rest on a drying rack or grill (1.5 hours for a large chicken). Pat dry with kitchen paper and then place the chicken on top of a metal nest strainer and deep fry on a medium heat basting carefully with hot oil using a ladle. Continue to fry for at least 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool and then slice into the chicken to serve alongside the nuoc cham.
