Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (6 pound) whole chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery
salt to taste
2 (9x9 inch) pans cornbread, cooled and crumbled
12 biscuits, crumbled
2 cups diced celery
2 large onions, chopped
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
seasoned salt to taste
1 dash crushed red pepper
9 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Place chicken, 1 onion, 2 stalks celery, and salt in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and gently boil 90 minutes, or until chicken meat falls easily from the bone. Drain, reserving broth. Chop chicken, and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix crumbled cornbread, crumbled biscuits, 2 cups celery, 2 large onions, sage, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, and red pepper. Stir in eggs and reserved chicken broth. The mixture should be very thin.
  • Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring often.
  • Mix chicken into the dressing mixture. Continue baking 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
