Chicken with Slit..... |
Make the marinade by adding the garlic, lemon, olive oil (1 Tbs), adding it to the chicken and allowing it to sit refrigerated for 1-24 hours. Once marinated, pat dry the skin of the chicken with a paper towel and salt the skin liberally, adding to a heated skillet to brown for 5-7 minutes over medium-high to high heat. Remove from pan and allow to cool for stuffing. Once cooled add the filling by placing in a pastry bad or ziplock and piping into the slit created earlier. Place in an oven preheated to 425 degrees for 25 to 40 minutes or until done. Once done allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting and plate as seen below.
