Stuffed Chicken Thigh with Lemon Caper Butter Sauce
This is a truly indulgent recipe. Chicken thighs stuffed then wrapped in streaky bacon, anointed with a delicious pouring of golden butten, sharpened with leon and capers.
Enough said.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
1 chicken thigh per person, skinned, and the thigh bone removed
1 slice of spicy salami per thigh
3 sprigs of sage per thigh
2 2cm cubes of marinated feta per thigh
2 long strips of streaky bacon per thigh
For the sauce
50 grams of butter per thigh
1 teaspoon capers, drained per thigh
Juice and zest of a lemon
8 sprigs of sage per thigh
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.
Remove the thigh bone from each of the thighs. Roll out on a board and fill with the stuffing.
To make the stuffing, finely mince the salami and the sage. With a fork, mash in to the feta. Fill the chicken thigh and roll up. Wrap in the bacon and if necessary, secure with a toothpick.
For the sauce, combine all the ingredients over a high heat until the butter starts to foam and go brown. Remove from the heat and reserve to pass separately.
