Method:

Season the chickens inside and outside with Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning. Leave to stand at room temperature while preparing the stuffing. Season the onion with Green Onion Seasoning and sauté in a mixture of butter and olive oil until golden. Add the mushrooms and saute with the onion for a few minutes.

Adjust the oven rack to one slot below the middle position. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Empty the Stuffing Mix into a medium mixing bowl. Add butter, Chicken Stock and boiling water. Stir and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Add the hydrated stuffing to the mushroom and onion stir-fry. Add thyme. Mix everything together lightly until evenly blended. Spoon the stuffing into the cavities of the chickens and truss the chickens with string.

Place chickens in a roasting pan to which you have added 1 cup of boiling water. Cover with wet, well oiled baking paper. Roast for 45 minutes.

Toss the potatoes and onions in a mixing bowl with Potato Spice and olive oil, pack around the chickens. Pour the Lemon & Herb Coat & Cook Sauce, together with the cream, over the chickens. Roast open for 1 hour. Allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with baby roast potatoes, baby onions and pan juices. Garnish with thyme.
