Scotch Fillet Stuffed Chicken

In this week's edition of ManCookBlog, R.J. and myself have decided that it would be awesomely manly to roast a succulent chicken stuffed with juicy premium scotch fillet steaks!

Ingredients:
1 whole unstuffed chicken
2 juicy scotch fillets
An assortment of spices (we used; Moroccan Spices, Thyme, Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Salt, Black Pepper)
Butter
Clove o' Garlic
Oil (preferably olive)

How you do it:
Create a spice rub by mixing an assortment of spices and oil together (we used everything except the Moroccan spice and the Thyme for this)
Rub your steaks in it

Peel the garlic, poke some holes in your chicken and insert the garlic
Cut your butter into small squares and insert them underneath the skin of the chicken (see below)
Season your chicken (rub some oil into it, then sprinkle on some spices - we used Moroccan Spice, Thyme, and a little salt and pepper)



Stuff steaks inside chicken (see below)


Roast that shit up!


Ours was a 2kg chicken, so we roasted it on 190 degrees (C) for 2 hours.

Enjoy that awesomeness and remember, 'Manliness is in direct proportion to Largeliness!' HARR!
