Pancetta-Leeks Stuffed Poussin Chicken with Herb Rice Pilaf and Supreme Sauce

Ingredients:
Poussin-seasoning
1 poussin, cut in 1/2
2 tsp smoked paprika
1tsp garlic salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp rosemary, finely chopped
1/3 cup sherry wine

Stuffing-
1tsp olive oil
1/2 cup leeks, small diced
1/4 cup pancetta, small diced

Method:
To cut in 1/2 the poussins, place each poussin on a cutting board, breast-side down. With a large, heavy knife, remove the central backbone of the bird with a firm vertical 'chop'. Once removed, then do a vertical cut in between each breast. Turn the chicken over and push it flat. Remove the rib bones. You should now have one flattened piece of chicken, skin side down.
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients, of poussin seasoning, and use to rub all over each poussin.
Place a griddle pan over a medium heat and pour over a little olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken skin side down and fry until the nice and golden or about 8. Minutes, then stuff the bird, then turnover and place in a preheated oven at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until internal temp is 165F...
