Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Heat a nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Add rice and garlic to pan; sauté 1 minute. Add water to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is almost tender. Stir in figs, nuts, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Stuff rice mixture in chicken cavity. Tie ends of legs together with twine. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under chicken. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack coated with cooking spray; place rack in a roasting pan.
