Roast Orange-Stuffed Chicken
- 3 pounds broiler fryer chickens
- 11 ounces mandarin orange segments drained
- 1 cup chopped walnuts coarsely
- apples 2 med., chopped, about 2 c.
- 2 cups herb seasoned stuffing mix
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 6 slices bacon
- Stuff chickens just before roasting, not ahead of time. To prepare stuffing, toss orange segments, walnuts, apple and stuffing mix. Add orange marmalade and toss.
- Fill each wishbone area with about 1/4 cup stuffing. Fasten neck skins to backs with skewers. Fold wings across backs with tips touching. Fill each body cavity with about 2 cups stuffing. (Stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tie drumsticks to tails.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breast-sides up on rack in shallow roasting pan or jelly roll pan (15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch). Crisscross 2 bacon slices on top of each chicken. Do not add water.
