Title: Albanian roast chicken
Categories: Poultry
Yield: 6 Servings
1 lg Chopped onion
3 tb Salad oil
7 c (about 3-1/2 pounds) drained
-sauerkraut
1 tb Paprika
2 ts Caraway seeds
6 Roasting chicken
Salt and pepper as desired
Here's another recipe which is a
great favorite of ours, and which I clipped from a newspaper
(Washington Post?) about 15 years ago. It's called "Albanian
Chicken", although I've never seen an Albanian Cookbook, and have
never seen another Albanian recipe, it seems like something my great
grandmother would have cooked. The use of sauerkraut as a stuffing
seems weird, but is characteristic of Middle European cooking. You
often find it mixed with apples...here it's mixed with paprika and
caraway seeds. The stuffing is sensationally delicious, and the
chicken comes out extremely tender, every time. This is a recipe you
have to cook to understand.
Saute onion in oil until golden, stirring often. Combine sauerkraut,
paprika, and caraway seeds with onion. Spoon as much kraut mixture as
possible into the body cavity of the chicken. Reserve remainder of
kraut for later
Place chicken on roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 325
degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Remove pan from oven, take chicken out. Pour
off fat in bottom of pan. Spread remaining kraut in bottom of pan and
set chicken in pan. Bake another 1/2 to 1 hour to brown. Season as
desired.
Leftovers make great sliced chicken and sauerkraut sandwiches.
