Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Lemon-herb stuffing:.
Step #2 Stir in the lemon zest, & salt & pepper to the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, parsley, then add the beaten egg & mix well.
Step #3 If your family wants extra stuffing, you can double the recipe then reserve half & dot the top this with butter & bake in the oven with the chicken for the last 30 mins of roasting time.
Step #4 Roast Chicken:.
Step #5 Spoon the stuffing into the neck cavity of the chicken, fold over the flap of skin, & secure with the wings.
Step #6 Set the chicken in a roasting pan just big enough to hold it, brush it all over with the oil, & sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Step #7 Roast in a preheated 350F oven for 1 3/4 hrs or until the juices run clear, basting every once in awhile & covering with foil wrap if skin is too brown.
Step #8 Remove from pan & let this stand for 10 mins.
Step #9 Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat from the pan.
Step #10 Set the pan on top of the stove, add the flour, & stir over moderate heat for 1-2 mins.
Step #11 Add the stock & lemon juice & stir until thickened.
Step #12 Taste for seasoning, adjust if necessary.
Step #13 Carve the chicken & serve at once, with the gravy passed separately.
