Easy Homemade Chicken Ham with Mushrooms & Spices

Homemade chicken ham is tasty and healthy! The ham turned out very tasty and tender! It is very easy to prepare, the only thing is that it takes a lot of time to cut the meat. If you don’t have much time, I think some of the meat can be chopped with a meat grinder or food processor, but some will still have to be chopped to add texture. It is not necessary to use mushrooms for the filling; you can choose other favorite vegetables, for example, bell peppers (it is better to bake them first and peel them), sun-dried tomatoes, boiled carrots, etc., the only condition is, do not overdo it with additives if you add a lot of them, then the ham will not hold its shape well.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
To prepare ham we need a whole chicken carcass.

Step 2

Step 2
First, you need to remove the skin from the chicken; this is done very simply. We make a deep cut on the back of the chicken, push back the skin, using a knife to help ourselves separate the skin from the meat.

Step 3

Step 3
We move to the legs and wings.

Step 4

Step 4
Turn the chicken over and remove the skin from the breast. We pull the skin off the wings and legs, helping in places with a knife. If suddenly the skin breaks a little somewhere, it’s okay!

Step 5

Step 5
We cut off all the meat from the naked carcass and cut it into small pieces.

Step 6

I cooked ham with mushrooms. To do this, I washed the champignons, chopped them and fried them in vegetable oil, seasoning them lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Step 7
Add salt and pepper to the minced chicken, I also added 1 tsp. with a heap of spice mixture for chicken (you can add more or less spices or not at all, salt and pepper will be enough). Mix the minced meat.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the minced meat on the skin.

Step 12

Step 12
We wrap it in leather. Wrap the resulting roll tightly in foil.

Step 13

Step 13
Place the roll in a mold (if there is no suitable mold, you can bake it directly on a baking sheet) and place it in an oven preheated to 180 C and bake until done for 1-1.5 hours (I baked for exactly 1.5 hours)

Step 14

Step 14
Let the finished ham cool. To make the ham denser, place a suitable weight on top of the ham and put it in the refrigerator for 6 hours (I leave it overnight).

Step 15

Step 15
We take the ham out of the refrigerator and you can cut it.
