Imana Recipe | Roast Chicken with Herb Stuffing

Preparation Time: 30 min | Cooking Time: 1h30 min

2 pork sausages, casings removed

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cups breadcrumbs

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tbsp margarine, melted

2 eggs, beaten

1 packet IMANA Mushroom Sauce

1 x 1.5 kg whole chicken, cleaned & ready for roasting

2 tbsp oil

6 - 8 bacon rashers (optional)

1 packet IMANA Roast Chicken Gravy

In a bowl combine all the sausage meat, onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, margarine and eggs. Lastly, add half the dry contents of the IMANA Mushroom Sauce. Mix until well combined.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and stuff it with the prepared stuffing. Tie the legs together with string.
Rub the oil over the chicken and then rub the remaining IMANA Mushroom Sauce powder over the chicken. Place the bacon rashers over the top of the chicken. Cover with foil or the lid of the roasting pan.
Roast at 180°C in the middle of the oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue roasting for 15 - 30 minutes. To check if the chicken is cooked, push a knife into the thickest part. If the juices run clear, it's cooked. Allow the chicken to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Prepare the IMANA Roast Chicken Gravy as per the instructions on the pack and serve with the meal.
Serve with roast potatoes and vegetables.
