How to Make Hungarian Stuffed Under The Skin Chicken
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced; and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- Sauté until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Tear 4 cups stale bread into large pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup warm water, ensuring all bread is moistened. Let sit for 1 minute, then squeeze out excess water.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and the onion-mushroom mixture.
- Season generously with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Divide the stuffing into four equal portions.
- Gently loosen the skin over the breast and thighs of two (approximately 3-4 pound) whole chickens. Carefully push the stuffing mixture under the skin.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and salt to taste.
- Brush the mixture over the chicken pieces, reserving some for basting.
- In a 9x13 inch roasting pan, arrange 1 medium onion, quartered; 1 pound green beans, trimmed; and 1 cup carrots, chopped.
- Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
- Roast uncovered for 60 minutes, basting halfway through with reserved oil mixture.
- Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C) and continue to cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Place an equal amount of roasted vegetables on each of four plates, topped with a portion of chicken.
