I am hoping fabbers can help here...

Just about to cook our Sunday roast and the chicken is trussed up. Do you remove the string before or after cooking?? What's your typical approach?

Usually after cooking otherwise it goes a bit floppy.

This. Nothing worse than a loose bird.

Interestingly the last bird I had wasn't trussed up.

But if I leave the legs tied how do I give it a good stuffing?

You have to get your hand up and under. It might be a bit tight to start with. Then fill that cavity real good.

Start off with two. You don’t want to ram a fist up straight away.

Sally gave a good tip with the butter. The more moist a bird, the better it tastes.

And as P6545 said, push it real good.......to the back of the oven.

Don’t forget to baste. Little and often.

Your bird will thank you for it.
