1. Rinse thoroughly pumpkin. We retreat 5 centimeters from the stalk, carefully cut out the circle. You can cut the edge of the circle with denticles. Remove the top, remove a tablespoon of seeds, take out part of the pulp. Approximately a layer of pulp in 1.5 centimeters will leave on the walls of the pumpkin. 2. Warm the water with rice. Then boil in salted water. We bring on high heat to a boil, then reduce the fire, and we cook for 5 minutes. Then drain the water, transfer to the bowl of rice. Cut into rings of leeks, fry for about 1 minute in vegetable oil. We cut the dried apricots with large strips. To the rice, add dried apricots and leeks, mix. 3. Rinse and dry the chicken. We cut it into 8 pieces. Half the butter is heated in a frying pan. On each side for 4 minutes fry the chicken. 4. We put rice, leeks and dried apricots in the prepared pumpkin alternately. Then put the pieces of chicken. The oil in which the chicken was roasted was watered. We cover the cut top and fix the toothpicks. 5. The remaining butter is melted, greased with a pumpkin. For 2 hours put in the oven, the temperature is 180 degrees. 6. We serve directly in the pumpkin.
