Pre-heat to 500, stuff the chicken. Rub olive oil over everything. Empty the spice shelf onto the chicken, garlic, onions and carrots on outside. Throw in oven and lower to 350 for 1-1/4 hours, or more if it's a bigger bird.
Mushroom and wild rice stuffing this time, plus some on the stove top (used cashews, dried mushrooms, dried cherries and a little fresh ginger root). Typically do a potato stuffing and fresh Rosemary though.
