WOW!!! What a delicious way to roast a chicken. The flavors from the onion mixture got into the chicken and in turn, the chicken drippings were soaked up by the bread slices which were decadently rich! Made for Spring 2008 PAC.

    This is a great recipe with tons of flavor. The stuffing was very flavorful and moist, but I would add more of the seasonings to the chicken rub next time - maybe use some of the thyme and lemon zest with the salt and pepper to rub into the oiled chicken, and omit pouring the lemon juice over top. (There is no amount listed for lemon juice, so I used the juice from the lemon that I zested...) I LOVE making the chicken this way, and will continue to tweak it for my family's preferences - maybe include some carrots with the stuffing, etc. Thanks for a great idea, we'll make this again for sure!

    Yes it is a WOW! Actually when it comes to a roasted chicken recipe it is a double wow at our house. Had some lovely crisp pieces tucked under before serving - good thing as dh and the teenager shared right to the last of the 'dressing' and were looking for more. This was a new to me kind of recipe that had me saying - now why didn't I think of that! Made as posted and it's great - needs no changes. Thank you WiGal we love that chicken of yours!
