BASIC ROAST CHICKEN

Serves 4
Sometimes there is nothing else that will fill the bill like roasted
chicken. Here's the easiest way to do it. You can brush the surface with
melted butter, margarine or oil, but it isn't really necessary.

1 whole chicken
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 package (7-1/2-ounces) stuffing mix, prepared as directed on package
Sprinkle cavity of chicken with salt. Stuff with favorite prepared
stuffing. Or skip stuffing if you're really in a hurry. Place chicken in
baking pan (no rack needed).
