      Title: STUFFED CHICKEN
 Categories: Poultry
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      1    Chicken, with giblets
    1/2 c  Rice, white (raw)
      1 pn Saffron (use the
           -amount that sticks
           -to the first 1/2 inch
           -tip of a paring knife)
      2    Celery stalks
     10 md Mushrooms
      3    Scallions
      3 tb Butter
 
  Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.  Clean the chicken, remove any large
  gobs of fat and rinse away any residual goo from its inside.
  
  Cook the rice in 1 cup of water, along with the saffron. Salt to
  taste. Saute the giblets in about 2 T of butter. While these are
  cooking, clean and cut up the celery, mushrooms and scallions into
  small pieces.
  
  When the giblets are done, chop them well.
  
  Mix the rice, vegetables and mushrooms together in a bowl, and cram
  as much as will fit into the chicken. Tie the ends of the drumsticks
  and the tail together. Rub about 1 T of butter over the skin of the
  chicken. Place remaining stuffing into a glass or ceramic casserole,
  cover, and set aside.
  
  Place in the chicken in the oven, uncovered.  After 10 minutes, lower
  heat to 350 degrees F. The chicken should cook approximately 20
  minutes per pound. Test the chicken by pricking it in the thickest
  part of the thigh; when it is done, only clear juices will come out.
  If the chicken is still underdone, blood will come out.
  
  Half an hour before the chicken is done, put the additional stuffing
  in the oven.
  
  If there are leftovers, be sure to remove any extra stuffing from the
  inside of the chicken, as it will sour if stored inside the bird.
