Roast Chicken with Sourdough Stuffing image

Stuffing turns a standard roast chicken into something special. Tying the legs helps the bird cook evenly and keep its shape, so it looks gorgeous when you bring it to the table.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 thick slice rustic sourdough bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (2 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, diced small
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 to 2/3 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper
1 chicken (about 5 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake bread in a single layer until dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium. Add onion, garlic, and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add thyme, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir into bread, then stir in enough broth to make mixture evenly moist but not wet. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pat chicken dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff cavity, tie legs together, and tuck wings underneath. Roast chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees, about 1 hour (tent exposed stuffing with foil, if overbrowning). Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the stuffing was a bit bland. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

This recipe was a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the stuffing was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly but the chicken was undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes. The stuffing was also dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a fan of sourdough bread, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The stuffing was delicious and complemented the chicken perfectly. I'll definitely be making this recipe again, even though I'm not a sourdough fan.
