"I originally got this from F.com, but it needed a LOT of tweaking to work out right. So while credit for the original concept goes to them, this has become my own recipe entirely. It's a nice alternative to regular stuffing for diabetics, although it is still fairly high carb."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F; place a rack in the bottom of a large roasting pan and spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
Melt 1/2 cup butter in large skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Add oats and seasonings; cook and stir another 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Rinse chicken well inside and out and pat dry with paper towel; place chicken on rack in prepared pan breast side up.
Step 5
Place a couple of tablespoons of stuffing into neck cavity of chicken; fold skin over and secure with a skewer or toothpicks. Place remaining stuffing into the body cavity; fold skin over and secure.
Step 6
Either tie or skewer wings and legs so they don't fall onto sides of pan.
Step 7
Arrange halved onions around chicken in pan.
Step 8
Brush entire chicken and onions with melted butter; cover and bake 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until juices run clear when pierced and stuffing is no longer crunchy. Baste several times throughout cooking, using more melted butter if not enough pan drippings.
Step 9
Remove chicken from roasting pan and place on a serving tray; cover loosely and let stand 10-15 minutes before scooping out stuffing, carving and serving.
