Method

Put all the stuffing ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Carefully lift the skin of the chicken away from the breast and body. Stuff the sausage meat between the skin and the chicken and spread out as evenly as possible. Place the chicken on a rack in a dish and brush with the soy sauce and water mixture.

 

Cover with roasting film or a roasting bag which has been split open. Cook on HIGH for 10 minutes, then reduce setting and cook on MEDIUM for 24 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Shield the breast of the chicken with a small piece of foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
