1 (4 lb.) fryer, cut up (I buy extra pkg. of gizzards and livers to boil with fryer for Giblet Gravy)
3 Tbsp. margarine (add to fryer to make broth richer)

chicken broth

1
Mix well all ingredients, except Pet milk and milk.
2
Add Pet milk and some of the chicken broth (save 3 cups chicken broth for Giblet Gravy).
3
Add sweet milk, enough to make a medium to thin mixture (depending upon how moist a dressing you desire).
4
Mix well.
5
Taste to see if you have enough salt and sage.
6
Remove 2 cups of the mixture, put this to the side for the Giblet Gravy. Pour dressing in a large well-greased roasting pan.

(I use margarine.)
8
Put a pan of water under your dressing when baking, this will keep from getting too brown on bottom.
