Roasted Chicken with Caramelized Onion & Apple Honey Stuffing Recipe Type: Cuisine: Prep time: 0 min Cook time: 0 min Total time: 0 min Serves: Ingredients whole chicken or 4 bone-in chicken breasts with skin 1 T. butter ½ c. onions, thinly sliced or canned caramelized onions 1 baking apple, cored, shredded 1 T. bread crumbs 1 T. honey ¼ t. pumpkin pie spice ¼ t. salt pinch pepper pinch dried thyme leaves olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika (if roasting) Instructions Prepare the stuffing by melting the butter in a skillet. If you’re using the raw onion, add the slices to the butter and cook them until they’re soft. If you’re using the canned caramelized onions, add them to the butter along with the shredded apple, bread crumbs, honey, spices, and seasonings. Cook for a couple of minutes and remove the skillet from the heat. Separate the skin from the chicken breasts and thighs with your fingers to form pockets between the skin and the meat. Tuck the stuffing among the pockets, folding the skin back over into place. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. For the slow cooker: Place the chicken in the crockpot. Season with salt and pepper. Add a glass of water to the bottom. Cover and cook on high for about 5-6 hours or low for about 8 hours. To roast: Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika and rub it all over the skin. Roast in the oven at 475 degrees for about 20-30 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees. Add a glass of water to the bottom of the pan, cover, and return to the oven for about an hour to an hour and a half depending on the size of the bird. The internal temperature should be about 170 degrees. Allow the fully roasted chicken to set on the counter for 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to settle.
