Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean and pat the whole chicken dry, then season it all over, inside the cavity, and under the skin where possible with the salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, garlic salt, seven spices, and poultry seasoning.

Cook the rice according to package directions until just tender. Meanwhile, peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes, then fry them until lightly golden and mostly cooked through. Drain the peas and combine them with the cooked rice and fried potatoes in a large bowl.

Spoon the rice mixture into the chicken cavity. If desired, gently loosen the skin over the breast and tuck a little of the filling underneath for extra flavor, being careful not to tear the skin or overstuff the chicken.
