Is there a point in stuffing a chicken if I'm not planning on eating the stuffing part? I'm planning to cook a regular chicken on Sunday and I thought that I should probably try to season it somehow. I've never tried to cook a chicken before (first Christmas dinner as an adult obv!). I thought about stuffing it, but scooping out the stuffing after to eat seems a bit gross to me. Will the stuffing itself impart flavour to the chicken meat?
You can put things in the cavity to help flavor the chicken as well.  A bundle of fresh herbs, garlic, an onion, fresh fruit, etc.  Stuffing from a cavity is divine though, don't knock it until you've tried it!
