There are two sections that can be stuffed - the top neck section and the inside of the bird. After doing these, either stitch up cavity vents or pin with poultry pins. Rub chicken with oil and bake in a preheated oven for 1½ - 2 hours, basting frequently, if not self-basting. This can be eaten hot or cold.
