YANKEE GIRL'S SOUTHERN ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING



Yankee Girl's Southern Roast Chicken With Cornbread Stuffing image

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.

Provided by Loves2Teach

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (5 lb) whole chickens
4 cups day-old cornbread, broken into pieces (I use the recipe on the Alber's Cornmeal Box, except I use buttermilk instead of regular milk, and I)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon kosher salt

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.

Tips:

  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a mixture of salt, water, and spices helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken for up to 24 hours, but even a few hours will make a difference.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the dressing. If you can, use fresh sage, thyme, and rosemary. You can also add other herbs that you like, such as parsley or oregano.
  • Make sure the cornbread is dry: The cornbread should be dry so that it can absorb the other ingredients in the dressing. If the cornbread is too moist, the dressing will be mushy.
  • Don't overmix the dressing: Overmixing the dressing will make it tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the dressing in a covered dish: This will help to keep the dressing moist. You can uncover the dish during the last few minutes of baking to allow the top of the dressing to brown.

Conclusion:

This baked chicken with cornbread dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the dressing is moist and fluffy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
