This is a usual Sunday dinner in our house in the stuffing I sometimes mix in a heaped tablespoon of cranberry jelly instead of Apple sauce

Cooking Instructions

20 mins

1

For the chicken: give it a quick rinse inside and out then pat dry with some kitchen paper
2

Take the onion and shove it up into the cavity as far as it will go
3

Sprinkle the bird with the seasoning all over, then drizzle on the oil and rub it well into the skin
4

Make the stuffing: put all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until all combined or rub the bread into breadcrumbs and finely chop the onion before mixing in the seasoning and butter
5

Push the stuffing into the cavity of the chicken
6

Put the chicken, breast down, into a roasting tin and place in the middle of a hot oven 200ºC gas mark 6 initially for 30 minutes
7

Take each thick sausage and twist in the middle. Then, using a kitchen scissors, snip into two equal halves.
8

Wrap each sausage half in a strip of bacon and either secure with a cocktail stick or place in dish with the bacon join on the underside
9

After 30 minutes turn the oven to 180ºC and turn the chicken onto its back with breast uppermost and cook the chicken for 15 minutes per pound (so for my 4lb bird that's another hour)
10

Put the pan of sausages in for the last 45 minutes - near the top of the oven
11

You should now have a lovely moist, perfectly cooked chicken with flavorful stuffing and fat sticky pigs in blankets

Chicken and stuffing Chicken and stuffing

The way I found this recipe was to cook it in a slow cooker but I rather bake it * Update * I made it with turkey breast diced up, dried cranberries, frozen green beans and used 1 can cream of chicken and 1can cream of broccoli because I didn't have anymore cream of chicken and I really loved the change it was very tasty.

Roast Chicken for Christmas Roast Chicken for Christmas

I rearranged the easy and delicious roasted chicken recipe that my mother taught me.The potatoes taste delicious if you bake them in butter, too.Pan-fry until the skins are golden brown. If you're in a rush, microwave them for 3 minutes before frying to shorten the cooking time. This will probably also prevent under cooking them. If you spread out the chicken, they will cook faster and the flavors will permeate easier.Since the recipe amount makes a somewhat large amount of sauce, you could make 3 smaller chicken thighs. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Roast Chicken for Christmas Roast Chicken for Christmas

This is our standard Christmas dish. The chicken is steam-roasted first, then browned in a very hot oven. The meat comes out very tender, plump and juicy. It's easy to carve the chicken using kitchen shears.The whole chicken I buy comes with the legs tied together. If your chicken doesn't come like that, tie the legs together with kitchen twine. You don't have to stuff the inside cavity of the chicken. If you do stuff it, try chopped vegetables, rice pilaf or whatever you like. The roasting time depends on the size of the bird. The chicken is done if you poke the thickest part with a skewer and the juices run clear. Recipe by Yukiline

Baked Pork Chops and Stuffing Baked Pork Chops and Stuffing

One night my family wanted pork chops and stuffing and I like my stuffing crisp, so I baked the whole dish. Its easy, fast and can be made in less than an hour.
