Ingredients
-
1 small onion, diced
-
½ cup diced celery, with leaves
-
6 slices stale bread, cut into cubes
-
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
-
1 teaspoon dried sage
-
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon celery salt
-
½ cup melted butter
-
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
-
¼ cup chopped fresh savory
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Stir together onion, celery, bread, pepper, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and celery salt in a large bowl; pour melted butter over bread mixture and stir to combine.
-
Spoon stuffing into the cavities of chicken; place chicken into a roasting pan. Sprinkle chicken with savory; cover with a lid or foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove cover; increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roast until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
Recipe Tips
This recipe can be increased for a larger chicken or turkey. Allow 20 minutes per pound at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), covered, then 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes more.
Place any extra stuffing into a greased ovenproof dish and bake, covered, until vegetables are translucent, about 45 minutes. If the casserole seems dry, moisten with a small amount of chicken stock or melted butter.
