Step 1:
To make the stuffing, add the wild rice and quinoa to a saucepan with 3/4 cup boiling water. Place on a low heat until the water is absorbed and wild rice is cooked (about 20 minutes).
Step 2:
Add the diced celery, diced onion, lemon zest, thyme and cranberries into a bowl with the cooked quinoa and rice. Season with salt and pepper as you like and mix well to combine.
Step 3:
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Step 4:
Place chicken on a roasting tray. Using a mortar and pestle, grind the rosemary and thyme to release their oils. Cover chicken with herbs, rub with a generous splash of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Fill the cavity with your prepared stuffing.
Step 5:
Place chicken in the oven and cook for about one and a half hours, depending on the size of the chicken. The chicken is ready when you pierce the thigh joint and the liquid is nice and clear.
Step 6:
Remove from the oven and slice to serve with stuffing and your favourite sides.
