Ballotine

Have you ever eaten a chicken leg? Well, a ballotine is like a fancy way of making a chicken leg stuffed with tasty ingredients. First, a chef removes all the bones from the chicken leg and lays it flat. Then, they add some yummy ingredients like herbs, spices, and maybe even some chopped-up veggies or meat. After that, they roll the chicken leg back up and tie it up with string to keep it all together.

Finally, they cook the ballotine in the oven until it's nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It's like a big, delicious chicken sausage! You can eat it on its own or with some sides like mashed potatoes or veggies. So, if you ever see a dish on a menu called "chicken ballotine," you'll know that it's a special way of cooking a chicken leg with tasty things inside!
