Butterflied chicken with ricotta and garlic stuffing.William MeppemTime:30 mins - 1 hourServes:4
This is a very simple and tasty alternative to Christmas turkey. Cook the bird on a high heat for a shorter time,and then give it a good rest,and you will be rewarded with juicier meat. Butterflying the chicken – removing the backbone and flattening it – enables the legs to cook more quickly. Adding ½ cup of roasted,chopped macadamia nuts to the stuffing really enhances the flavour. All you need to add,really,is a well-dressed salad and some crisp potatoes.
