Preparación

1. 1

   Carefully remove the chicken's bones, keeping the skin and meat intact. This step is optional, but it allows for more flavorful marination and stuffing. Watch this video for how to debone a whole chicken.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix the Buldak hot sauce, Kewpie mayo, honey, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, and fresh thyme or rosemary.

   Rub the marinade inside and outside the deboned chicken. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge overnight.

   Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C).

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the fridge and sew the bottom opening closed using kitchen twine and needle..

   Stuff the chicken belly with mashed potatoes (or Buldak noodles, or both). For a more visually appealing presentation, insert potato cheese sticks or sausages into the top opening.

   Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking pan. Cover the potato cheese sticks, chicken wing tips, and leg tips with foil to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Bake the chicken at 355°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.
