My Favorite Baked Chicken With Cornbread Dressing Food

SOUTHERN CHICKEN CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• The very first step is to make your cornbread.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Boil your chicken legs in a large pot with plenty of water. You will need the broth as part of your ingredients.
• Once your chicken legs are cooked separate the meat from the bones.
• Pour your chicken broth into a 9x13 inch dish. Depending on how much water you used to boil your chicken you may not need all of your broth. You will want to fill your dish about half full of broth.
• Now you can add the rest of your ingredients, continuing to stir to get everything spread around. Add the chicken, 1 egg and cornbread. You should only need 1 skillet or 9x9 pan of cornbread for a 9x13 dish of dressing.
• Stir in the onion and celery. I chop these into little pieces using my food processor.
• Now you can add in the seasonings. Add salt, pepper, sage and poultry seasoning to taste. Make sure you go light on the sage and poultry seasoning at first and then you can add more if it needs it. I don't have exact measurements on how much I add but I would probably say somewhere around 1/2 tablespoon.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 1 hour. Stir the dressing every 20-30 minutes.

• Place the chicken halves skin-side up on top of the onions in the skillet. Combine the butter and honey in a bowl and brush all over the chicken; season with salt. Roast in the oven until a thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 165, about 50 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.

YANKEE GIRL'S SOUTHERN ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING

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.
