All in One - Cubed Chicken Dinner from a Spun Brined Bird

Brined a chicken for couple days, dried him off and let dry in the fridge for a day.
Oiled him up and coated with paprika, brown sugar and summer savory. On the spinner with big Cherry Chunks

Using my Inkbird wireless probe INT-11P-B, love everything about this . Easy to use and great connection

Brought it up to 166 It

Now here is I went off the rails and kind of winged it

Save the skin in as big of pieces as I could, and pulled the bird to pieces.
The brine and the smoke did the bird justice.
Made our normal potato and bread stuffing.

Layered the skin down into a casserole dish, cooked and spiced side down , so it would be the top later.
Loosely mixed the chicken pieces and the potato stuffing together with 3 beaten eggs ( $1.08 up here for 3 )
Layer the skin , fill the dish with the stuffing and chicken mix.
Cover with parchment paper another dish and some heavy weight. ( ceramic stones covered in foil )
Cook in the oven until ready, because of the eggs. You could have just put in the fridge under pressure if no eggs.
But I wanted it to hold better for frying later.

Out of the oven and let rest for about half hour,

Cut into serving sizes, fry in bacon fat to crisp up the top ( skin ) and bottom and warm the whole thing up for supper.

Looks delicious. Nice out of the box thinking there. The chicken skin puts this over the top for me.

Thanks Eric for the like and the comment

It really was a tasty meal with the brined and smoked bird.

And yes the skin was the most important item I really wanted to get right, and it came out of the pan just right for the frying later.
