4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (if the chicken is small, 1.2–1.5 kg, 160 degrees will be sufficient). Place the chicken on a baking tray, immediately add the stuffing, and bake for 60–80 minutes. Small potatoes are best left whole, while large ones should be cut into four wedge-shaped pieces. You can tie the chicken legs together to make the bird look more attractive.
