2. Spoon all but 60 ml (4 tbsp) stuffing into the chicken. Gently ease the chicken skin away from either side of the breastbone to form two pockets. Press in the reserved stuffing.
3. Heat enough oil to cover the base of a flameproof casserole, there should not be too much space around the chicken. Brown the chicken and remove it from the casserole.
4. Put the remaining onion, the milk and bay leaf into the casserole. Return the chicken to the casserole and cook covered at 180°C (350°F) mark 4 for about If hours, until tender.
5. Remove the chicken to a serving dish and keep warm.
6. Make the onion sauce: mix the cornflour to a paste with a little water. Stir into the pan juices to thicken them, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
7. Carve the chicken and pour over the onion sauce, or if preferred pour the sauce into a sauceboat and serve it separately.
