Stuffed Chicken with Apples and Rice

To prepare the chicken stuffed with apples and rice, you will need the following ingredients: a whole chicken weighing approximately 1.5-2 kg, honey, mustard, soy sauce, ground coriander, salt (optional), sour apples, sunflower oil, rice, butter.

First, you need to marinate the chicken. For the marinade, add sunflower or other vegetable oil, honey, mustard, soy sauce, and ground coriander to a deep bowl. Mix all the ingredients well.

Place the chicken in a deep dish. Coat it inside and out with the prepared marinade. Leave it for 20-30 minutes. Occasionally, you need to pour the chicken with the marinade, as it is liquid and runs down to the bottom of the dish.

Prepare the filling. Rinse the rice. Pour about one liter of water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Add the prepared rice. Stir and cook for 7-10 minutes after boiling. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and leave it for 3-5 minutes to swell.

Rinse the apples, remove the core, and cut them into slices. If desired, you can remove the skin.

Heat the butter in a frying pan. Lower the apple slices into it. Fry for 3-5 minutes over high heat, stirring.

Strain and rinse the soaked rice with cold water. Shake it slightly to remove excess water.

Add the fried apples to the rice. Stir and season with salt to taste.

Stuff the chicken with the prepared filling.

To prevent the wings and legs from burning, wrap their edges with foil. Tie the legs with a strong thread. Brush with marinade again. Preheat the oven to 180-190 degrees. Bake for about one hour. If you want a golden crust, occasionally remove the chicken from the oven and baste it with the juices that have formed.

The chicken, stuffed with apples and rice, is ready. Carefully remove the foil and string and you can invite everyone to the table.

Enjoy your meal!
