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.
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and leek. Cook and stir until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Mix in parsley. Remove from heat; transfer vegetable mixture to a bowl.
- Butterfly the chicken by removing the backbone, and pressing down on the breastbone to crack chicken open using a knife or kitchen shears. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Rub the remaining 2 tablespoons butter all over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay bread onto the bottom of the same skillet; spread vegetable mixture over bread to make stuffing. Arrange chicken into a layer on top, skin side-up. Pour lemon juice over chicken.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing into quarters. Spoon stuffing onto each serving patter and top with chicken.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for even cooking. A whole chicken will cook more evenly than chicken parts, and the stuffing will help to keep the breast meat moist.
- Season the chicken generously. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Stuff the chicken loosely. Don't pack the stuffing too tightly, or it will be dense and dry.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to crisp the skin and keep the chicken juicy.
- Let the chicken rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy are all classic choices.
Conclusion:
Roast chicken with cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chicken is perfectly cooked and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
