Chicken stuffed with buckwheat
An excellent recipe for baking whole chicken stuffed with buckwheat. A tasty and complete dish for lunch.
Chicken stuffed with buckwheat is a dish that is worthy of a festive table, despite its traditional execution. To prevent the inside of the chicken from being dry, add fried mushrooms and onions to the buckwheat. Also, in order to fit more filling inside the chicken, you should remove the skeleton. You can serve this chicken with pickles or fresh vegetables.

- Whole chicken - 1.5 kg.
- Buckwheat - 1 cup
- Fresh champignons – 150 g
- Onions - 2 pcs.

Cut the champignons into slices or cubes.
Cut the onion into half rings. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until translucent, then add the mushrooms and fry together a little.
Boil buckwheat in salted water, add onions and mushrooms to it and stir.
Rinse the chicken under running water and dry with kitchen towels. Using a sharp knife, trim the skin on the back, cut the meat along the ridge carefully so as not to damage the skin. Gradually go deeper inside, cutting off the skin from the ridge in a circle.
Remove the backbone from the chicken.
This is what the chicken without the frame will look like.
Prepare the marinade for the chicken: mix adjika, soy sauce, pepper, squeeze the garlic using a press.
Grease the chicken well inside and out. Leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Place the cooled filling inside the chicken.
Sew up the chicken with thick thread.
Also tie the wings and legs of the chicken with threads.
Place the chicken in a baking dish, breast side up, and baste with the remaining marinade.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the chicken for 1-1.10 hours. If the top gets too brown, cover it with foil.
Check the readiness of the chicken by piercing the leg with a fork; if clear juice comes out, the chicken is ready. Prepare it for serving. Remove all threads, place on a plate and garnish with vegetables.
Bon appetit!

Ingredients:
- Chicken – 2kg
- Buckwheat – 140g
- Champignons – 140g
- Onion – 130g
- Garlic – 6 teeth.
- Vegetable oil – 4 tbsp.
- Salt - to taste

Preparation:
1.
If you marinate the chicken in advance, the total cooking time will be reduced by an hour, since I only allowed an hour for marinating. Rinse the buckwheat, pour boiling water over it (2 times its weight, approximately 280-300 grams), cover with a plate and let it swell. Since the void inside the chicken is smaller than I would like, I always choose the breast bone. I simply trim along the edge of the breast meat, along the bone, and then push through with my fingers, occasionally trimming with a knife, until I get all the bone out. This way I will gain a little more space for buckwheat.
2.
Peel and chop the garlic. Rinse the chicken thoroughly and rub the carcass inside and out with garlic, salt and pepper. Just let it sit in the kitchen; it marinates faster in the warmth. Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat a frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and onion. Fry, stirring, for about 3-4 minutes. During this time, wash and cut the champignons into pieces. Drain the remaining water from the buckwheat.
Add the mushrooms to the onions and fry them over high heat for a few more minutes. The mushrooms will decrease in volume. Add buckwheat. Season everything with a little salt and pepper. The filling is ready. Simple and fast.
3.
If you were very careful to pick out the bone carefully, you may not have broken the skin. If you didn’t try very hard (like me), then fasten the skin with toothpicks, leaving the bottom open - through it we will stuff the carcass with buckwheat. Also pin the neck with a toothpick or tie it with thread.
4.
Cool the buckwheat to such a state that you do not get burned. Stuff the carcass with buckwheat and prick the hole with a toothpick. Place the chicken in a mold, pour a little oil on it (a couple of tablespoons) and chop off the legs (optional). Place in the oven for about 1 hour at 180″.
5.
About 20 minutes before the end, I throw some assorted vegetables into the mold. This time it's zucchini and bell peppers. I pre-salted and peppered them. Serve everything, pouring the sauce formed in the mold. Bon appetit!
stuffed chicken from Winny
#1 Remove the skin from the chicken. Separate the meat from the bones and chop finely. Chop the prunes too, add a glass of chopped nuts, salt, hot paprika, herbs to taste. Mix well with the meat, fill the skin with minced meat, and secure it with toothpicks. Rub the chicken with paprika and salt and simmer in the oven until browned. It turns out very tasty, but there’s always not enough... No. 2 Stuffed chicken. Remove the skin from a large chicken. Minced meat: cut chicken meat into large pieces, 5 pieces of prunes, 5 pieces of dried apricots, walnuts, fried mushrooms with onions, 2-4 cloves of garlic (chopped), 1 piece of sweet pepper, spices, herbs , lemon juice. Stuff the skin. Sew up, bake for 30-40 minutes. Unfortunately, there are no exact proportions, but I think it’s not scary. Having what you have, you can change a few things to your own taste. Bon appetit!! We take our bird by the horns, that is, by the hind legs... Stop, she only has two of them! In short, we take her by the legs... Oh, I’d better try again, don’t scold me, I just came from a seminar...
We take the bird by the leg. Somewhere near the tail the skin “ends”, so to speak, there you can pry it with a knife and trim it a little - as if to start removing it. Then we take a tablespoon and continue to act with it like a knife - we move it between the skin and the meat, there is delicate connective tissue and fat there, they give in easily. That is, we seem to “cut off” the skin with a spoon. The main problem is the wings. Some simply cut them off, leaving holes in the skin, which are then pinned with toothpicks or sewn up. But you can do this - when you get to the wings, “lift up” the carefully removed skin and cut off the wings inside it, then they will come off along with the skin. It's a matter of skill and time. So, that seems to be it with the chicken. If there is anything wrong, let my older comrades correct me! Now I'm off to look for the recipe. Here is the recipe for stuffed chicken baked in the oven:
for a medium chicken:
one and a half glasses of chopped walnuts, a glass of prunes (I add more depending on my mood) - chopped, a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or hot paprika, salt and herbs - parsley or something else, the main thing is that it is not spicy, there is enough pepper.
Now remove the skin from the chicken. Separate the meat from the bones and chop it finely. Mix with nuts, spices, etc., fill the skin with minced meat. Where we find holes in the skin, we fix them with toothpicks or sew them up with white thread. Now lightly rub the entire work of art with salt and pepper and place it in the oven at 180C. And the chicken simmers in the oven until golden brown, while we lick our lips and inhale the wonderful aroma... So, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to dinner!

Chicken in soy sauce, stuffed with buckwheat, in the oven
Ingredients:
- chicken 1 pc.
- mixture of ground peppers 0.5 tsp.
- garlic 1 tooth.
- ground sweet paprika 1 tsp.
- soy sauce 2 tbsp. l.
- tomato paste 0.5 tbsp. l.
- vegetable oil 0.5 tbsp. l.
- lemon juice 1 tbsp. l.
For filling
- buckwheat 1 tbsp.
- water 2 tbsp.
- salt 0.5 tsp.
- butter 20 g
- sunflower oil 2 tbsp. l.
- onions 1 pc.
- carrots 1 pc.
Preparation:
- First you need to marinate the bird. If you have frozen, defrost it in the refrigerator or at room temperature (but not in water!). I have a large chicken weighing 2 kg, the meat is chilled, so I just washed the carcass and dried it with a paper towel. In the tail area, I removed the coccygeal gland - it can give off an unpleasant odor when baked.
- For the marinade, I combined soy sauce, tomato paste, lemon juice and vegetable oil, added garlic, passed through a press (no need to add salt, since soy sauce itself is quite salty). Rub the chicken thoroughly on all sides and set aside to marinate at room temperature. If you don’t have any of the ingredients or don’t have enough time to prepare a complex marinade for chicken, you can simply rub it on all sides with salt, pepper and grease with sour cream or homemade mayonnaise
- While the meat is marinating, it's time to prepare the filling. First I cooked buckwheat porridge. I sorted through and washed the cereal, poured it into boiling, lightly salted water. Cooked for 20 minutes until fully cooked. I added a small piece of butter to the prepared buckwheat porridge for flavor and crispness.
- I prepared the frying separately. Sauteed diced onions in vegetable oil. Then I added carrots, chopped on a coarse grater, to the pan and fried for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- I combined and mixed the buckwheat porridge and roast, and adjusted the amount of salt to taste. The result was a crumbly filling.
- All that's left is to stuff the chicken. I stuffed it quite tightly, since the porridge is already completely prepared and will not swell during baking. For a 2-kilogram chicken, all the filling was used, without any residue.
- I sewed up the hole with a needle and thread - you can use a special culinary needle, or you can use regular white thread.
- Place it in a heat-resistant form with the breast side up. Covered the top with foil in case the chicken stuffed with buckwheat starts to brown too much in the oven. I brushed the top with the remaining marinade. I sent it to bake at 180 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes - the cooking time directly depends on the weight of the carcass. Readiness is checked simply: you need to pierce it with a knife to the bone, if clear meat juice is released, then the bird is ready.
- Then I removed the foil, poured over the juice and baked for another 15 minutes until the chicken was nicely browned (I only wrapped the wings so they wouldn’t burn).
- Appetizing, juicy and very tasty chicken stuffed with buckwheat is ready. All that remains is to remove the threads, and you can serve it to the table immediately in the heat of the heat with fresh vegetables and herbs. It turned out to be a two-in-one dish, as promised: meat and side dish at the same time. Bon appetit!
