Instructions:
Preparation
MIX contents of Vegetable/Seasoning packet, hot water and margarine in large bowl until margarine is melted. Stir in Stuffing Crumbs just to moisten; set aside. Do not stuff chicken until ready to roast.
RINSE chicken with cold water; pat dry. Stuff lightly with prepared stuffing; close openings with skewers and string. Place, breast-side up, on rack in baking pan; brush with melted margarine, if desired. Sprinkle with thyme and salt.
ROAST at 325°F for 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours or 20 minutes per pound or until chicken is cooked through, basting occasionally.
