celosia, I have baked both of the following two stuffings in the oven i.e. separate from the chicken/turkey.
APRICOT AND GINGER STUFFING ½ cup dried apricots boiling water 1 onion, finely chopped 1 tbsp grated root ginger 1½ cups soft breadcrumbs saltandfreshly ground black pepper 1 egg
Place the apricots in a bowl. Cover with boiling water and leave to rehydrate for about 1 hour. Drain and chop. Mix the onion, apricots, ginger, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and egg together until well combined. Use to stuff chicken or turkey or bake in muffin tins at 180°C for 10 minutes. Makes about 1½ cups.
CRAISIN STUFFING Moist, tasty, lovely flavour. 1 onion, sliced 50g butter 2-3 middle bacon rashers, chopped 2 cups fresh white bread crumbs 1 apple, chopped 1 x 170g packet craisins ½ cup fresh chopped herbs (e.g. thyme, sage, rosemary, parsley) saltandfreshly ground pepper to taste
Place the onion, butter and bacon in a glass bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and allow to cool slightly before stuffing into the turkey - it's important that the bird and the stuffing are the same temperature when stuffing the turkey. Place the stuffing into the cavity firmly. Sufficient for a 4 Kg turkey – any extra stuffing can be placed into an ovenproof dish and covered with foil and baked in the oven for 20-30 minutes before serving.
Hope that helps.:-))

Wrap your stuffing in tinfoil and pop it in the crockpot on top of the chooks

Put the chooks in an oven bag, much easier to get out of the pot.
