what temp and how long to cook a stuffed chicken
When cooking the stuffed chicken, the internal temperature of the stuffing should reach 165Â°F. Cooking the stuffing to this temperature can result in the meat becoming overcooked. Many cooks prefer to cook the stuffing separately from the chicken. The stuffing is placed in a buttered baking dish and cooked during the last 45 minutes to an hour of the roasting time. Stuffing that is cooked outside of the chicken as a separate dish is referred to as dressing..
