Uneida's Chicken Recipe

Here is a chicken recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing - imagine that!

When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.

BAKED STUFFED CHICKEN

6-7 lb. baking chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (Orville Redenbachers Low Fat)

Clean chicken thoroughly, inside and out.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush chicken with melted butter, salt, and pepper.

Fill the cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place chicken in a baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen closely for the popping sounds.

When the chicken's rear blows the oven door open and the chicken flies across the room, it is done. Serves 6 - 8.

And you thought I couldn't cook.
