it can be made of all sorts of things
and its function is to be really tasty.

your typical one for a chicken is basically sage, onion and breadcrumbs

And do you actually stuff it into the chicken?
What happens when you slice it? Doesn't it get all soggy?

yeah, into the cavity of the chicken
although there is a school of thought that in doing so it doesn't get hot enough to kill the bacteria in it, unless you cremate the chicken, so some people cook it outside on a try or in balls or something.

You generally get a crusty outer bit, and the rest is fairly dense and moist, having soaked up juices from the meat, thus becoming more delicious.

In my experience it is excavated with a spoon.

You can make it with sausagemeat type stuff as well, which works better if you slice it out of the chicken/turkey.

Having stuffing in there doesn't interfere with the normal carving of the meat.

inserting the stuffing between the breast and the skin isn't a bad way to do it - helps keep the breast moist too.

I've never really found that the breast dries out
I've used slices of chorizo betwixt skin and breast on some big leg pieces. That was fucking lovely.
