I had never stuffed anything under the skin of a chicken before, so as this was my first try, please forgive me for doing such an uneven (and diseased-looking) job.<br /><br />This is another dish inspired by the Joy of Cooking. I butterflied the chicken and stuffed the skin with duxelles, which is minced mushrooms sauteed with butter, scallions and sherry. I love anything with mushrooms, and I'm making up for lost time for the 16 years or so I refused to touch them.
