ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING



Roast Chicken with Cornbread Stuffing image

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.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken, 4 pounds
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 cups cornbread, day-old, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup Spanish onion(s), finely diced
3 leaves sage, fresh, finely-chopped
4 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
¼ cup raisins
or
¼ cup dried cranberries
1 clove garlic, minced
½ jalapeño pepper, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Season the inside and the outside of the bird with salt and pepper. Let it rest on the counter for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, assemble the stuffing. In a large bowl combine together the cornbread, onion, sage, pumpkin seeds, raisins, garlic, jalapeno and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff both of the chicken's cavities with the stuffing and make sure not to overstuff.
  • Truss the bird using white kitchen string, and arrange it breast side up in a roasting pan. Brush the bird all over with the melted butter. Transfer to the rack in the middle of the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Baste the chicken and reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to roast for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 180°F (82°C). Continue to baste the chicken every 20-30 minutes to help crisp the skin.

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.
