Cut the rolls into cubes and place them in a large bowl. Wash the marjoram, dab dry and chop except for something to garnish. Peel and finely chop the onions. Cut the bacon into small cubes as well. Leave the bacon out in a pan, add the onions and fry briefly. Heat the milk and add it together with the warm bacon-onion mixture to the bread cubes. Add eggs, marjoram, some salt and pepper and mix well. Cover and leave to stand for about 1 hour. Meanwhile cut the chicken in half, wash thoroughly and drain. Mix oil with salt, pepper and paprika. Grease a frying pan well and press the dumpling mixture 1-2 cm thick on top of it. Spread the fat in small flakes on the dumpling mixture and place the chicken halves on top. Spread the chicken with the seasoning oil and roast in the preheated oven, 2nd rail from below (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 1 hour. In between, brush the chicken with the remaining seasoning oil. Serve garnished with remaining marjoram
