Description

This stuffed roast chicken is a rich and flavorful dish, perfect for special occasions or a Sunday family dinner. The buckwheat and lard stuffing gives the chicken a rustic taste and a pleasantly different texture than usual. I often prepare it during the Christmas holidays, because it is a tasty alternative to classic turkey. The preparation takes a little time, but the result is guaranteed! Buckwheat, with its slightly toasted flavor, goes very well with lard and onion, creating a truly irresistible filling. Serve it hot, accompanied by a side of baked potatoes or grilled vegetables.
