CZECH STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Soak the bread briefly in lukewarm water and squeeze until dry.
• Saute the onion in the oil until soft.
• For those observing Jewish dietary laws, broil the liver first to remove the blood. Dice the liver, and add to the onions along with the mushrooms, parsley, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Saute until the mushrooms are soft. Add the bread, pine nuts or walnuts and apples, and mix well. Let cool.
• Stuff filling into the neck and cavity of the chicken; sew or truss closed. Lightly sprinkle outside of the chicken with salt.
• Place in a roasting pan, and bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is almost completely cooked. Pour the orange juice over the chicken, and continue cooking for another half-hour or until done.
