INSIDE-OUT "STUFFED" CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM DRESSING



Inside-Out

Baking stuffing inside the bird means risking dry meat. By resting your chicken atop this mushroom-sage dressing, the bread absorbs juices while toasting, and the chicken roasts perfectly.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon, softened
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced crosswise
3 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
6 cups day-old rustic-bread cubes (1 inch)
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Cook onion, celery, and garlic until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from skillet. Working in 2 batches, cook mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter. Add to onion mixture.
  • Stir in bread, stock, juice, and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Return to skillet.
  • Place chicken, breast side up, on stuffing, and tuck wings under. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub skin with softened butter, and season with salt.
  • Roast for 30 minutes. Rotate skillet, and roast chicken until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Chicken:
1 (5-pound) whole chicken
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 tablespoon butter (cold; cut into small pieces)
Kosher salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Optional: fresh thyme, rosemary, and sage
For the Stuffing:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1/2 cup celery (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or poultry seasoning to taste)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes)
2 cups soft breadcrumbs
2/3 cup milk (divided)
Kosher salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 egg (beaten)
For the Pan Gravy:
Drippings from the chicken
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a roasting pan with foil and set a rack in the pan.
  • Gather the melted and cold butter.
  • Using your hands or a brush, rub the chicken with the melted butter.
  • Tuck the pieces of cold butter under the chicken's skin along with the optional fresh herbs. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Set aside while making the stuffing.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet or sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the celery is crisp-tender.
  • Add the dried thyme, parsley, and breadcrumbs . Add about 1/3 cup of milk and stir to blend. Taste and season the stuffing with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the beaten egg and enough of the remaining 1/3 cup milk, if needed, one tablespoon at a time to make a moist mixture. Remove from heat.
  • Loosely spoon the stuffing into the cavity of the chicken.
  • Close the cavity by sewing the loose skin together with toothpicks, or twine. Alternatively, cover the cavity with a piece of foil or a slice of bread.
  • Place the chicken, breast-side up, on the rack in the roasting pan.
  • Roast the whole chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, basting several times with the pan juices. When done, the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh, away from fat and bone must read the minimum safe temperature for consumption of 165 F. The stuffing needs to have the same temperature reading.
  • Once cooked thoroughly, remove from the oven and let rest for about 15 minutes.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Skim off the fat from the pan drippings, or use a fat separator. Reserve the fat.
  • Add three tablespoons of fat back in the roasting pan, reserving the remaining drippings. Add the flour and stir to make a roux . Cook on the stove, stirring, for two minutes.
  • Put the reserved drippings in a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough chicken stock until you have 2 full cups of liquid.
  • Gradually stir the chicken stock mixture into the roux mixture. Continue cooking the gravy until thickened, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Carve the chicken and serve with cooked stuffing and pan gravy.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. If you are using a larger chicken, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely thawed before cooking.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning it. This will help the seasoning adhere to the chicken.
  • Use a flavorful stuffing mix. You can use a store-bought stuffing mix or make your own. Be sure to add some fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices to the stuffing mix for extra flavor.
  • Stuff the chicken loosely. Do not pack the stuffing tightly into the chicken or it will not cook evenly.
  • Truss the chicken to keep the stuffing from falling out. You can use kitchen twine or toothpicks to truss the chicken.
  • Roast the chicken in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Inside-out chicken and stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your inside-out chicken and stuffing turns out perfectly every time.
