How To Make cheesecloth chicken, white castle stuffing & gravy
-
Step 1Place the chicken in a roasting pan breast side up. Mix 1/2 c butter with the sage, thyme, and rosemary.
-
Step 2Loosen the skin on the chicken breast and legs and rub the butter mixture under the skin and all over the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Step 3Place the remaining butter and the wine in a saucepan and cook until the butter is melted. Soak the cheesecloth in the mixture.
-
Step 4Make the stuffing. Remove the pickles from the burgers. Break up the burgers into small pieces. Mix in the onion, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken stock until the stuffing is moistened. Stuff the chicken with the stuffing. Wring out the cheesecloth and wrap the whole top of the chicken with the cheesecloth. Roast in a 325 degree F oven for about 1 hour. Keep the cheesecloth moistened with the wine mixture the whole time.
-
Step 5Remove the cheesecloth and roast another 1/2 hour to get some color on the chicken. Roast until internal temp reaches 165 degrees F.
-
Step 6Remove the chicken to a carving board to rest.
-
Step 7To make the gravy, strain the pan drippings through a fine mesh strainer. Add the juices to a saucepan. Whisk in the flour, then slowly add enough chicken stock to make about 3 cups. (I keep adding until a gravy consistency.) Taste and adjust for salt.
-
Step 8Remove the stuffing from the chicken and carve. Serve topped with the gravy,
