Elevate a basic chicken dish into an extraordinary culinary masterpiece.

Ingredients:

2 (1.2kg each) whole chickens
100g butter, at room temperature
82.50 ml pistachio kernels, finely chopped
20.00 ml finely-grated orange rind
2 tsp chopped fresh sage
olive oil cooking spray

Instructions:

Rinse chickens under cold water, then gently dry with a paper towel. Use kitchen scissors to cut along both sides of the backbones and remove them. Flatten chickens by pressing down on a flat surface.
Mix together the butter, pistachios, orange rind, and sage in a bowl. Gently loosen the chicken breast skin from the flesh using your fingers, then stuff the butter mixture underneath the skin.
Prepare the barbecue plate or chargrill with a light coating of oil and heat on high. Place the chicken, skin side down, and cook for 10 minutes until golden brown. Flip the chicken and cover with a barbecue hood or roasting pan for 40 minutes, or until juices run clear when tested with a skewer. Transfer the chicken to plates, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice into portions and serve.
