I'm going to debone the chicken after saving all the good bits like feet, offal, and bones for stock.
Then I will roll and tie it around the stuffing, similar to prepping a ballontine, but instead of poaching, I'll bake until 160F internal, rest it, and serve warm.

Same here, except I never had a normal family. We were all a little berserk.
Jr. Try putting a small pan of water. or better yet, chicken broth underneath. It helps hold the moisture content for juicy chicken.
You can always crisp the skin under the broiler.
