Carefully separate skin from chicken using fingers and a small knife, leaving skin attached on long side to form pocket. Divide stuffing among pockets, patting gently to distribute evenly. Secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken skin-side up in baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with #110 Supreme Salt-Free seasoning. Put in oven. Baste with pan drippings every 10 minutes.
