Fried chicken with chilli-and-lime seasoning

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the carrots on a large baking tray and top with the chickens.
2. Heat the butter, maple syrup and thyme in a saucepan, then pour over the chickens.
3. To make the stuffing, heat the butter in a pan. Fry the mushrooms and add the sourdough pieces and onion marmalade.
4. Spoon the mixture into the chicken’s cavities and truss with string. Roast for 2 hours. If the chickens are browning too much, cover loosely with foil. 5 Once cooked, turn the chickens over and allow to rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to distribute into the breast meat.
