Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the chopped celery and onion. Saute over medium heat until barely tender. Reduce heat to simmer. Add 3/4 cup chicken broth and the bread cubes. Stir until all the bread cubes are moistened, about a minute or two. Remove from heat. Stir in the seasoned salt and parsley; set aside. Rinse the hens inside and out; pat dry. Spoon the stuffing mixture into the cavities of the hens. Wrap a small piece of aluminum foil over the ends of the drumsticks on each hen. Place in a shallow roasting pan. Lightly brush each one with additional melted butter. Pour the remaining chicken broth into the bottom of the pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes, basting with broth halfway through.
