This recipe is sufficient for 2 chickens, stuffed with a curried rice stuffing and cooked in a tasty curry sauce. This dish is even better when prepared a day ahead as the flavours mix together and will be even tastier heated up the next day.

ingredients
- 2 whole chickens, appox. 1 5 kg in weight
- 90 g butter
- 2 small onions, chopped
- 25 g mild curry powder (to taste)
- 30 ml flour
- 1 liter chicken stock
- 30 ml soft brown sugar
- 30 ml apricot chutney
- 5 ml salt
- 1⁄2 lemon, juice of
- 200 g uncooked rice
- 50 g butter
- 2 small onions, chopped
- 20 ml mild curry powder
- 5 ml salt
directions
- Rinse chickens in cold water and dry with paper towel.
- Melt butter for curry sauce in a pot and braise onions for 5 minutes.
- Add curry powder and cook a further 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and then gradually add the chicken stock.
- Bring the mixture to the boil and add the sugar, chutney, salt and lemon juice.
- Cover and cook the sauce for half an hour on very low heat.
- Boil the rice for the filling for 5 minutes and drain.
- Braise the onions in the butter until soft, adding curry powder and rice, then salt.
- Put this filling into the chicken cavity, stuffing the neck cavity as well. Do not overstuff, as the rice will expand during cooking. Close up the cavity with toothpicks.
- Place the chickens in a casserole dish with a lid.
- Pour the curry sauce through a strainer or sieve over the chickens and cover.
- Bake in a 160 C oven for 3 to 4 hours. No need to pre- heat the oven. Baste the chickens with the sauce during cooking.
- Note: This is rustic food, perfect family meal on a cold winters day, served with extra white rice (as the stuffing is not alot, but worth making as the taste is beautiful)-
- I do not bother to strain the sauce, and serve extra sauce in a jug on the side.
- If I am in a hurry I do not make the rice stuffing - cook at 180 C for about 2 hours.
