ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING
It is hard to deny that when it comes to roasting a chicken what some of us most look forward to is the stuffing. Instead of opting for the traditional stuffing, we've kicked it up a notch with this sweet and savoury cornbread style stuffing. After it's finished roasting the result is a creamy chewy texture that is a delicious and creative treat.

YANKEE GIRL'S SOUTHERN ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING
This recipe was inspired by a Recipezaar thread where I requested Zaar Southerners to suggest their favorite Southern recipes. Talk about Southern hospitality -- what a response! I learned a lot -- I think I'm part Southerner now! About the stuffing: It does not call for broth, as the cornbread is on the moist side, even after toasting. I like a more crumbly stuffing, and find that the chicken exudes plenty of moisture to make it just right.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Rinse chicken, remove excess fat from around the cavity and pat dry.
- Rub inside and outside of chicken with one teaspoon Old Bay seasoning and set aside.
- Spread corn bread pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until they dry out a bit not much longer than that.
- Combine onion, celery, fresh herbs, pepper, olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the Old Bay seasoning in a mixing bowl.
- When the cornbread crumbs are toasted enough, dump the hot bread into the celery onion mixture and combine.
- Place the chicken in the bottom of a small roasting pan that has a cover.
- Stuff the cavity and the sides of the chicken with the stuffing you need to separate the skin a bit from the sides to get the stuffing in next to the leg/thigh pieces also stuff some into the neck cavity.
- Tie the legs together to hold the stuffing in with kitchen twine.
- Drizzle the chicken with oil, sprinkle with salt and a little more Old Bay if you like.
- Cover the pan and roast at 350 for about 1 and 1/2 hours, then uncover, insert a thermometer close to the leg/thigh joint without touching the bone- you're looking for it to read 180 degrees- it will be very close at this point.
- Roast a little longer uncovered until chicken is nicely browned and the thermometer reads 180 degrees.
- Allow the chicken to rest about 10 to 15 minutes before carving- this step keeps it juicy.
- Enjoy.

Steps:
- For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8-inch square baking pan.

Stir in the chorizo and cook until it browns, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the sage and rosemary and remove from the heat.
- Toss the chorizo mixture in the bowl with the cornbread cubes. Add the chicken stock and knead with your hands until the cornbread is very moist and wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed (it does). Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof serving dish.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- For a crispy cornbread stuffing, use a combination of cornbread cubes and crumbled cornbread. This will help the stuffing hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too mushy.
- If you don't have time to make your own cornbread, you can use store-bought cornbread mix or frozen cornbread cubes.
- To add extra flavor to the stuffing, try adding some chopped vegetables, such as celery, onion, or bell pepper.
- If you're short on time, you can skip the step of browning the chicken in a skillet. Simply place the chicken in a baking dish and bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through.
Conclusion:
This classic dish of chicken with cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
