INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse chickens with cold water, pat dry. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet
and brown onion and garlic. Add prunes, apple, apricots, raisins, pepper,
cinnamon, saffron water (or turmeric) and sugar. Mix well. Preheat the oven
to 350F. Stuff the chickens with the fruit mixture and truss the cavities
shut. Place the stuffed birds in a greased oven proof dish or roasting pan
and pour in the orange juice. Cover and bake in the oven for 11/2 hours,
basting with pan juices, until the meat separates easily from bone. Serve
from the oven proof dish or arrange the birds on a serving platter. Spoon
juices over the chicken. Pass rice on the side.
