I grew up with this for christmas dinner. The sausages used are called chipolatas, they are the same length and thickness as a frankfurter but are not spiced or precooked.
Ingredients:
1 (2 1/2 kg) chicken
6 -8 sausages (chipolatas, these are frankfurter length sausages)
8 slices streaky bacon
prepared stuffing (sage & onion sage and onion stuffing for roast chicken)
Directions:
1. Dry chicken inside and out.
2. Half fill chicken with stuffing, place chipolatas inside chicken, they will stick out the end.
3. Place in roasting pan and drape to cover with streaky bacon.
4. Bake at 160 C for 3-4 hours, checking regularly after 3 hours.
5. Serve with your favourite roast veges.
