# Wash chickens and pat dry inside and out with paper toweling. Sprinkle each cavity with 1/2 tsp. salt. Hook wing tip into back to hold neck skin. If skin is short, fasten with skewer. 
# Mix all ingredients for the stuffing except stock. Fill body cavity with stuffing and stock. Tie legs together with string, and then tie legs and tail together.
