In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the fresh chorizo and cook until browned. Remove the chorizo from the pan and add the onion, celery, green pepper, and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the creole seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Add in the rice and return to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low, simmering until rice is cooked, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Meanwhile, rub the chicken with butter and season with salt and pepper. Roast until chicken is fully cooked, about 2 hours.
Once chicken is roasted, add rice to the chicken and heat 10 minutes. Serve.
Notes
Do not cook the rice inside of the chicken, we like to stuff it after the chicken is fully cooked.
Make it ahead of time by making the dirty rice the day before.
