Method
1. For the filling: season the foie gras cubes with salt and Espelette pepper and brown them in a very hot non-stick pan until golden brown on all sides. You do not need to add any fat to the pan. When ready, drain the cubes on absorbent kitchen paper.2. In the same pan, brown the sliced ceps in duck fat, then add a pinch of salt and Espelette pepper. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water with the bay leaves, garlic clove and olive oil until al dente. Drain and then immediately pour over cold water over the pasta to cool it down. Put the pasta into a salad bowl, then add the foie gras pieces, ceps and parsley.
3. For the chicken : stuff the chicken with the foie gras and pasta mix. If you have any left over, keep it aside to serve as a side dish. Tie the chicken up with a big needle and a cooking string. Sew the back properly to avoid spillage. Pour the duck fat into an oven dish and heat over a high flame. Add the whole chicken and quickly brown in the dish.
4. Add garlic cloves and bay leaves to the chicken dish, then transfer the whole thing into the oven. Cook for 50 minutes, basting throughout the cooking time.
5. When the chicken is cooked leave it to cool for 10 minutes. In the meantime, pour the chicken stock into the oven dish. Cook over a high heat and reduce. Pass through a sieve when ready.
6. Put the chicken onto a cutting board and pour the jus into a sauce dish for serving.
