How to stuff a chicken without contaminating your entire kitchen

Stuffing a whole chicken isn't exactly an easy, graceful task. Although not super complicated, it sometimes ends with you arm wrestling with yourself, trying to hold all the pieces together. And the result is not always pretty. To avoid dirtying up your kitchen with raw poultry and stuffing, hold the chicken in a deep bowl with its head toward the bottom and its rear in the air. You'll want to use a wide-enough bowl, about the diameter of your chicken. This way, the chicken won't slip every which way, and you can stuff it with ease.
