This is a recipe you likely will not see on the Foodtv network! The "chef" is in the Loudon County Jail awaiting trial on charges of cocaine smuggling which, at last report, does not have television studio equipment.

Customs inspectors at Dulles International Airport say a man from Guatemala was detained after he tried to carry a cooked chicken stuffed with more than $4,000 worth of cocaine.

Customs and Border Protection spokesman Steve Sapp says agents decided the fully cooked chicken that 32-year-old Wagner Mauricio Linares Aragon brought with him on a flight Saturday from El Salvador warranted closer inspection.

Inside the chicken's cavity they say they found two small, clear bags that contained about 60 grams – about 2.3 ounces – of powder cocaine.

Linares Aragon is being held awaiting trial on felony drug charges in Loudoun County.
