Stuffed roasted ChickenOctober 28, 2007By skenerknee
"I Love this recipe, it's a great way to have poultry, stuffed when it's not Thanksgiving! You must try this recipe!! The chicken comes out jucie and the stuffing is to die for! I used a 5lb bird and it was enough for an intimate dinner with my favorite man, Rob my husband! He just loves this meal and he eats as much as he wants and it's always a wonderful evening, just the two of us. So I recommend this recipe highly for anyone who has a craving for stuffed poultry when it's not Thanksgiving."
