Sage and onion stuffing is a traditional English dish that is often served with roast chicken. It is made with a mixture of bread, onion, sage, and other herbs. The stuffing is cooked inside the chicken, and it absorbs the flavors of the meat and the roasting juices. This results in a moist and flavorful stuffing that is a perfect complement to roast chicken.

This article provides three different recipes for sage and onion stuffing. The first recipe is a basic stuffing that uses white bread, onion, sage, and butter. The second recipe is a more flavorful stuffing that uses sourdough bread, onion, sage, and sausage. The third recipe is a vegetarian stuffing that uses a combination of vegetables, bread, and herbs. All three recipes are easy to make and can be prepared in advance. They are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with roast chicken, turkey, or other meats.

CELERY HERB STUFFING AND SAVORY CHICKEN



Celery Herb Stuffing and Savory Chicken image

I taught my children this recipe by singing along to Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, great herb stuffing seasonings. If you can get savory from the Atlantic provinces to green your chicken; it would be the best. My father was a Newfoundlander and swore by their savory.

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1.5-1.8kg/3lb 5oz - 4lb chicken, giblets removed, trussed
25g/1oz butter
½ unwaxed lemon, juice only
100ml/3½fl oz white wine or vermouth
salt and freshly ground black pepper
15g/½oz butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
½ unwaxed lemon, finely grated zest only
5 leaves fresh sage, finely chopped (or ½ tsp dried sage)
100g/3½oz fresh white breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
15g/½oz butter,
1 large onion, finely chopped
200g/7oz sausagemeat
1 eating apple, grated
4 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tbsp plain flour
100ml/3½fl oz dry white wine
300ml/10fl oz chicken stock

Steps:

  • The day before you roast your chicken, season it inside and out with salt. Loosely wrap it in kitchen paper, then put it in a tub or wrap it securely in foil. Chill it in the fridge. An hour before you want to roast it, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 6.
  • For the stuffing, melt the butter in a frying pan over a low heat, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Put the onion in a bowl and allow to cool, then mix in the lemon zest, sage and breadcrumbs. Season well with salt and pepper and add the egg, mixing thoroughly. (If making the sausagemeat stuffing, do exactly the same, mixing the fried onion with the sausagemeat, apple and herbs.)
  • Fill the cavity of the chicken with the stuffing, making sure you leave a little air between the stuffing and the top of the bird to allow the air to circulate. If you have any stuffing left over, you can stuff it into the neck end.
  • Rub the butter over the chicken, then squeeze the lemon juice over it and put it in a roasting tin. Mix the wine with 100ml/3½fl oz water and pour over the chicken.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and roast for a further 60-80 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when it is pierced through the thickest part with a skewer (the cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken).
  • Remove the bird from the tin, cover with foil and set aside to rest. Pour off the tin juices and strain off any fat, then set aside. To make the gravy, sprinkle the flour over the tin. Stir over a low heat to make a roux with the scrapings in the bottom of the tin, then pour in the wine. Let this bubble up, then gradually add the pan juices and stock. You can transfer the gravy to a saucepan if you like - the roasting tin should look clean. Simmer until you have a thin, well flavoured gravy.

Tips:

  • For a flavorful stuffing, use a combination of fresh and dried herbs, such as sage, thyme, and rosemary.
  • To add sweetness and moisture, add chopped apples, cranberries, or raisins to the stuffing.
  • Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water to add extra flavor to the stuffing.
  • If you are stuffing the chicken, be careful not to overfill it, as the stuffing will expand during cooking.
  • If you are baking the stuffing separately, cook it in a covered dish at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Sage and onion stuffing is a classic side dish that is perfect for roast chicken. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its savory flavor and hearty texture, sage and onion stuffing is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
