ROAST CHICKEN WITH APPLE-SAUSAGE STUFFING
1/4 lb bulk pork sausage
1 roasting chicken (about 3 1/2 lbs)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp chopped green onions
3/4 cup herb-seasoned croutons
1/4 cup chopped peeled apple
1 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp chicken broth
1 tsp salt

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degree.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add sausage. Cook, stirring continually, until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes.
  3. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; add green onions. Saute until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in croutons, apple, raisins, broth and sausage. Mix well.
  4. Sprinkle the inside of the chicken with half of the salt. Fill cavity with stuffing; close with skewers. Sprinkle outside of chicken with remaining salt. Place chicken, breast side down in a roasting pan.
  5. Roast chicken for 30 minutes; turn breast up. Roast, basting frequently, until a meat thermometer registers 185 degrees or until the juices run clear when meat is pierced with a fork, about another 30 minutes.
