How to Make Scottish Style Roast Chicken With Oat Stuffing Howtowdie

**Prepare the Howtowdie Oat Stuffing:** Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup chicken broth.
Continue cooking and stirring until the oats are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
**Prepare the Chicken:** Gently loosen the skin over the chicken breastbone. Using your fingers, carefully fill the wishbone area with about half of the oat stuffing.
Fasten the neck skin to the back using a kitchen skewer or poultry pins.
Fold the wings behind the back of the chicken.
Fill the remaining body cavity lightly with the remaining stuffing.
Tie or skewer the drumsticks to the tail to keep them in place.
Place the chicken, breast side up, in a shallow roasting pan.
Arrange 1 medium onion, cut into wedges, around the chicken.
Brush the chicken and onions generously with 2 tablespoons of margarine.
Roast uncovered in the preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, brushing the chicken and onions several times with the remaining margarine, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Serves 6.
