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.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for a more flavorful dish. A whole chicken will give your dressing more flavor than just using chicken breasts or thighs. If you're short on time, you can also use a rotisserie chicken.
- Make sure the cornbread is moist. Dry cornbread will make your dressing dry and crumbly. If your cornbread is too dry, you can add some milk or broth to it.
- Don't overstuff the chicken. If you overstuff the chicken, the dressing will be too dense and won't cook evenly.
- Bake the chicken at a high temperature. A high temperature will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent the dressing from becoming soggy.
- Let the chicken rest before carving. Letting the chicken rest before carving will help the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This baked chicken with cornbread dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the dressing is moist, flavorful, and flavorful. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish a hit with your family and friends.
