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.

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.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSED-UP CHICKEN



Southern Cornbread Dressed-Up Chicken image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 strips thick-sliced bacon
2 large onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup crumbled prepared cornbread
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup pecan pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 chicken halves, backbone removed (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook the bacon in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 7 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the pan with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper; cook over low heat until tender, about 5 minutes, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Set the skillet aside.
  • Combine the cornbread, spinach, cheese, pecans, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg in a medium bowl. Crumble in the bacon and toss gently. Stuff the mixture between the skin and flesh of each chicken half, making sure to cover the breast and thigh.
  • Place the chicken halves skin-side up on top of the onions in the skillet. Combine the butter and honey in a bowl and brush all over the chicken; season with salt. Roast in the oven until a thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 165, about 50 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes. Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard into the onion mixture and set aside. Carve each chicken half and serve on a platter with the onions.

PENNSYLVANIA STUFFING



Pennsylvania Stuffing image

So I live in Texas now. They call stuffing "dressing" and make it with cornbread and sausage. I've been making my Yankee stuffing and taking it to potlucks. This recipe is from my mom, who got it from her friend's grandma. I think it has Pennsylvania Dutch roots. I love it.

Provided by Rai5428

Categories     Pennsylvania Dutch

Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 lbs potatoes, washed and peeled
milk
butter
salt and pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
3 large celery ribs, chopped (and leaves)
1 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
14 ounces seasoned stuffing mix (I use Pepperidge Farm HerbSeasoned stuffing mix. You could also just use bread cubes or old bread.)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until they're tender, then make mashed potatoes with them. (I just add milk and butter till they look right, I don't measure -- so feel free to make the mashed potatoes however you want, but make them a little bit wetter than you normally would, since they're going to be baked.).
  • While the potatoes are cooking, melt one cup of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the celery and onions until soft. (I know, it's not healthy. But it's delicious.).
  • Add most of the bag of stuffing mix to the butter, celery and onions and stir it in (Again, just estimate. I think I leave about a cup and a half of stuffing mix in the bag and use the rest). Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir the onion, celery and stuffing mixture into the mashed potatoes.
  • Mix in 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 2 eggs, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour into a LARGE greased casserole dish. (I use the stoneware from my crock pot.).
  • Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 30-60 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 lb unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups celery, diced (about 3 stalks)

  • For the hens:.
  • Rinse them inside and out, removing any pin feathers, and pat outsides dry. In a roasting pan that's just large enough to hold the hens loosely, toss in the onions and then place the hens on top, breast side up. Sprinkle the insides of the hens with salt and pepper and loosely fill the cavities with the stuffing. If there is any stuffing leftover, bake it in a separate pan until heated through.
  • Tie the legs of each hen together and tuck the wings under the bodies. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 50-60 minutes, until skin is browned and the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
  • Remove from oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for about 15 minutes. Serve a whole hen per person. Enjoy!

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lbs total)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
1 (8 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix
1 (8 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.

  • Combine soup, milk and parsley and mix well.
  • Pour over the stuffing, cover and bake for 35 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake for 8 to 10 more minutes until stuffing is golden.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: To save time, prepare the cornbread stuffing and make the herb butter up to 3 days in advance. The stuffing can be refrigerated, while the herb butter can be frozen.
  • Use a flavorful chicken: For the best flavor, use a free-range or organic chicken. These chickens have a more robust flavor than conventionally raised chickens.
  • Season the chicken generously: Be sure to season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. This will help to create a flavorful and juicy bird.
  • Roast the chicken on a bed of vegetables: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and garlic.
  • Baste the chicken regularly: This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out. Baste the chicken every 30 minutes or so.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it even more tender and flavorful. Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or cornbread stuffing.

Conclusion:

This Southern Roast Chicken with Cornbread Stuffing is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a family meal or a special occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, while the cornbread stuffing is moist and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
