Step 1
1. Fruit stuffing for this chicken is a wonderful idea. First, peel the apples, cut them into slices, and do the same with the dried apricots and prunes. You can puree the fruit to make a stuffing—this will make the meat even juicier, as the fruit will soak it with their juice, or, on the contrary, cut them into larger pieces.

3. Sew up the chicken to keep the filling inside during baking, and place it in the oven. You can also use regular toothpicks. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees after putting in the chicken. Bake for about 45 minutes (depending on the oven's performance), then let it cool slightly.

4. Many consider the combination of garlic with fruits to be a special highlight. Believe me, if you add 3-5 garlic cloves inside the fruits, you'll get an unforgettable and amazing meat aroma. If you don't like garlic, you can simply stuff the chicken with dried apricots, apples, and prunes. Another secret: you can bake the bird wrapped in foil, then remove the foil 10 minutes before it's done to form a golden crust.
