FAQs:
Why put stuffing in a chicken?
Stuffing adds a delicious layer of flavour to chicken by steaming it from the inside and soaking up the juices that may have been otherwise lost.
Do you cook stuffing before putting it in the chicken?
Nope, no need! This will all cook together while in the oven.
