Make It

STUFF chicken lightly with prepared stuffing; close openings with skewers and string. Place, breast-side up, on rack in baking pan; sprinkle with thyme.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve with a smart side, such as your favorite hot steamed vegetables, to round out the meal.

Variation

Substitute a 3- to 4-lb. roasting chicken for the 5-lb. roasting chicken; stuff as directed. Spoon any remaining stuffing into small baking dish; cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake chicken 1 hour to 1 hour 20 min. or until chicken is done, basting occasionally and placing the remaining stuffing in the oven for the last 30 min. of the chicken baking time.

Substitute

Prepare using your favorite variety of STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix.
