INGREDIENTS:
3-3-1/2 lb. chicken 4 oz medium or coarse oatmeal 1 medium onion, chopped
2 oz. shredded suet or 2 oz. dripping salt and pepper mixed herbs (optional)



1 Set oven to 350 F. or Mark 4. Remove the giblets for the gravy. Rinse and wipe the chicken well. Put the oatmeal, onion and the suet or dripping into a bowl. Add salt, pepper and herbs to taste. Mix well with a fork. Stuff the chicken. Take care not to overfill the cavity as the oatmeal swells when cooked. Place the chicken in a roasting tin and roast for about 20 minutes to the pound and possibly 20 minutes over depending on the bird. Serve with roast potatoes and fresh vegetables.
2 A verstile dish, Skirlie was often eaten instead of meat, especially when times were hard. Here it makes a delicious stuffing.
