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.

PENNSYLVANIA STUFFING

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until they're tender, then make mashed potatoes with them. (I just add milk and butter till they look right, I don't measure -- so feel free to make the mashed potatoes however you want, but make them a little bit wetter than you normally would, since they're going to be baked.).
• While the potatoes are cooking, melt one cup of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the celery and onions until soft. (I know, it's not healthy. But it's delicious.).
• Add most of the bag of stuffing mix to the butter, celery and onions and stir it in (Again, just estimate. I think I leave about a cup and a half of stuffing mix in the bag and use the rest). Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
• Stir the onion, celery and stuffing mixture into the mashed potatoes.
• Mix in 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 2 eggs, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour into a LARGE greased casserole dish. (I use the stoneware from my crock pot.).
• Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 30-60 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
