Description

Bacon Stuffed Whole Roasted Chicken with Cauliflower and garlic, or the only way to get my son and husband to eat cauliflower!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Chicken
  • 4 slices Bacon
  • 1 head Cauliflower
  • 1 bulb Garlic (10-15 Cloves)
  • Salt And Pepper, To Taste
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Clean 1 whole roasting chicken. Gently pull skin away from the breast and insert the four slices of bacon between the skin and breast of the chicken.

Place whole chicken (breast side up) in a roasting pan. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper or any other seasonings you may like.

Bake chicken in the oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.

While chicken is baking, cut up cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Peel garlic cloves, leaving them whole, and place cauliflower and peeled garlic into a bowl. Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Add cauliflower and garlic to the roasting pan with the chicken. Reduce heat to 400 degrees and cook for 30 more minutes, or until chicken is done.

Serve and enjoy!

This was delicious! The chicken skin was so crispy and the whole chicken was infused with bacon flavor. My only complaint is the MESS it made of my oven! The bacon and fat from the skin were spattering everywhere and began burning on the walls/floor of my oven. I considered tenting it with foil, but was concerned that this would make the skin soggy since then it would steam. Any advice on this, or did I just have extra messy grease? :)
