I stumbled across another recipe for whole chicken the other day. It sound way more appealing to me cause of the stuffing and the whole lemons. The last Lemon Roasted Chicken recipe was good, but didn't stand out. Now this LEMON STUFFED CHICKEN recipe DID stand out! It was scrumptious. You can totally taste the lemon much more. It is now my FAVORITE whole chicken recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
- 2 cups stuffing mix
- 2 lemons
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Stuff the bird with the prepared stuffing and rub the skin with the olive oil. Cut 1 lemon in half; cover the opening of the bird with a lemon half and stuffing (save the other half for garnish). Pour the juice of the second lemon over the bird. Season the bird with the salt, paprika, rosemary and sage.
- Cover with tin foil and bake in preheated oven for 1 to 2 hours. Remove the cover half way through baking to brown. Baste often.
I followed the recipe to a tee. For the garnish, I thinly sliced lemon and place it around potatos and celery that I had around the chicken. I didn't even have to baste at all and the chicken turned out way moist. I also prefer this recipe over the other because this one does not have cream of chicken, making this recipe a lot more healthier! Definitely a keeper! The family LOVED it!
