Annabelle’s top tips for stuffing a roast chicken
1 Make sure you rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels before stuffing and roasting.
2 Never put hot stuffing into a cold bird.
3 Always toast nuts before adding to stuffing.
4 Try a stuffing combination of breadcrumbs, sautéed onion, cooked bacon, craisins, pine nuts, herbs and apple.
5 You can also add a whole lemon if you wish.
6 Gently slide your fingertips between the breast and the skin to loosen (making sure you don’t tear the skin). Try rubbing a mixture of butter and herbs between the breast and the skin.
