DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt 1/4 cup butter in saucepan. Add half the chopped onion and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Combine sauteed onion with bread crumbs, chopped ham, herbs, and grated lemon rind. Add enough beaten egg to make fairly moist mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon stuffing into cavity of chicken. Put remaining onion and some salt and pepper inside neck end of bird with a small amount of butter. Fold skin flap under wings and skewer or sew to hold in place. Rub remaining butter over chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in roasting pan. When hot, add chicken, baste thoroughly, then cover with foil. Roast; basting every 15 minutes and turning chicken from side to side. Allow about 20 minutes per pound. During last 15 minutes of cooking time, remove foil to allow breast to brown. Transfer chicken to hot serving dish and keep warm while making gravy.
• Pour off fat from roasting pan. Pour in remaining chicken stock and bring to a boil. For more flavor, reduce liquid by boiling.
• Preheat broiler. Roll up bacon and put on skewers. Broil bacon and sausages until crisp
• Serve chicken surrounded by bacon, rolls and sausages. Serve chicken gravy and bread sauce separately
