Roast in a preheated oven at 400o for about 40 to 45 minutes, basting with broth halfway through.
cook it in a clay pot. recipe comes with pot. great taste.
Don't bother stuffing it. Hen is too small. Make your fav stuffing and put it in a pie plate and bake along with hen..........yum!
What "move on" states is somewhat true .... Sometimes I stuff them with wild rice ....
Another way is to cut up some apples, oranges, ginger and garlic and stuff that in there, you don't eat this stuffing, its just for flavor.
Its a great flavor, I use it for ducks too. Enjoy :)
This is our favorite stuffing...easy, too
