 Here's another recipe which is a great favorite of ours, and which I


 clipped from a newspaper (Washington Post?) about 15 years ago. It's called


 "Albanian Chicken", although I've never seen an Albanian Cookbook, and have


 never seen another Albanian recipe, it seems like something my great


 grandmother would have cooked. The use of sauerkraut as a stuffing seems


 weird, but is characteristic of Middle European cooking. You often find it


 mixed with apples...here it's mixed with paprika and caraway seeds. The


 stuffing is sensationally delicious, and the chicken comes out extremely


 tender, every time. This is a recipe you have to cook to understand.


 


 Saute onion in oil until golden, stirring often. Combine sauerkraut,


 paprika, and caraway seeds with onion. Spoon as much kraut mixture as


 possible into the body

 Place chicken on roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 325


 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Remove pan from oven, take chicken out. Pour off


 fat in bottom of pan. Spread remaining kraut in bottom of pan and set


 chicken in pan. Bake another 1/2 to 1 hour to brown. Season as desired.


 


 Leftovers make great sliced chicken and sauerkraut sandwiches.


 


 (If your mail program renders the times weird looking, they're 1.5 hurs for


 baking, and .5 to 1 hour for browning.  The "=BD" is ASCII 189 and=


 represents "1/2" in US English.)
