How to bake chicken stuffed with rice? Prepare the chicken itself and the marinade for it to begin with.

Wash the chicken, dry with paper towels.

Run the garlic through the press or grate finely.

In a bowl, combine the vegetable oil, crushed garlic cloves, salt and spices.

Mix everything well.

Brush the chicken carcass with marinade inside and out. Leave the chicken to marinate overnight in the fridge. If you don't have that option, then at least 1-2 hours at room temperature.

While the chicken is marinating, make the filling.

Rinse the rice thoroughly to clear water.

Peel and grate the carrots

Peel and cut the onions into small cubes.

In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Place the onions and carrots and fry, stirring, until the carrots are soft for about 5-6 minutes.

Add the rice and stir.

Pour in the spices and stir. Turn the fire down.

Pour in 200ml or a little more boiling water to keep the water 1cm above the rice. Mix gently.

Simmer the filling under the lid over a low heat until the moisture evaporates. During the extinguishing process, do not mix the filling.

Cool the finished filling slightly.

Fill the chicken with spicy rice filling.

To prevent the filling from falling out, pin the abdomen with toothpicks, and tie the legs together with a culinary thread.

Transfer the stuffed carcass to a parchment-lined baking tin or baking sheet. Bake the chicken with the rice in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for about 1 hours, periodically pouring juice over the bird from the bottom of the tin. Enjoy your meal!
