Heat to boiling and add in to stuffing mix. Toss. Add in coconut, nuts and pineapple and mix well. If a more moist stuffing is desired, heat the other 1/2 c. of chicken stock and add in to the stuffing mix. Stuff the cavities and skewer the openings closed. Bake at 400F for 30 min. Reduce the temperature to 325F and bake for an additional 30 to 45 min, or possibly till chicken is tender. Baste occasionally with chicken stock.
