5. Sew the opening

6. Place stuff chicken in baking pan

7. Cover with cheese cloth or foil

8. Use a pan just big enough to pack in chicken so stuffing will be firm when cooked and chicken can easily be sliced evenly

9. Preheat oven (350 degrees F) for 10 minutes

10. Bake for 1 hour or until done (To test, prick chicken with toothpick and when toothpick comes out dry, it is then cooked)
