Method
In skillet, fry bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate. Drain off fat in pan.
Fry onion, garlic, sage, oregano, pepper and pinch of the salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Add bacon, bread, chicken stock and parsley; toss to combine. Set aside.
Remove giblets and neck from chickens if in cavities; pat dry inside and out. Stuff neck and body cavities with stuffing. Skewer neck cavities closed. Tie legs together with string; tuck wings under back. Place side by side, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan. Sprinkle with remaining salt.
Roast in 325°F (160°C) oven until meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 185°F (85°C), about 2-1/2 hours. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 20 minutes.
Remove stuffing from chickens. Carve or use poultry shears to cut 1 into sections and serve. Let remaining chicken cool for 10 minutes. Refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
