[Closed] Chicken stuffed with Haggis

OK, maybe a bit odd, anyway, after a good burns recipe, have done chicken breasts stuffed with haggis in the past, but what about stuffing a whole haggis "up" a chicken? Will it be too dry?

Any thoughts please!

Shudder to think how long you'd have to cook it, once all cooked it might be a bit dry?

That's a heck of a big chicken if it takes a whole haggis.

Could add a wee dram to the haggis if you were worried about dryness. Bit of goose fat to spoon over the chicken occasionally too, perhaps?

Cook it upside down and it won't dry...

If you stuff the chicken breast with haggis and then wrap it in foil & steam it it is unlikely to dry out.

I'd be more inclined to wrap the stuffed breast in bacon and then roast it but put a bowl of water in the oven during the roasting to keep the oven humid.

For Christmass I helped my mother do a two and a half bird stuff.

1. Large chicken

2. Pheasant

3. Sausage meet, onion and apricot stuffing.

You could replace the sausage meet with the haggis. Maybe swap the apricots for something else I'm not too sure what, part of me says dates, part of me says keep the apricots.

Bone both birds, place pheasant inside chicken, stuff sausage meat (or haggis in your case) in gaps, sew the chicken back together again, cover in streaky bacon and roast. The end result was not at all dry. I think the apricots helped. Tasted lovely, but a lot of meat!

Chicken balmoral, Marks and Spencer do a particularily lovely version.

Hels - Pre season diet going well?

It's difficult stuffing a chicken with haggis. The little buggers keep running off when they see where you're going to put them.
