1 Med size hen
1 10" by 1" pan cornbread
2 large biscuits or 4 slices lite bread 2 of which are ends
1 6oz box 'Chicken Flavored Stuffing Mix'
6 Eggs, raw
1 Tsp black pepper
1 Med onion, diced
2 Sticks celery, sliced 1/4 to 3/8" thick
1 14oz can chicken broth
1 cube chicken bouillon, mashed
1 Tsp sage, adjust to taste
Rinse chicken, remove pack from cavity, if in paper, discard paper
Cut skin between legs/thigh and body to help cooking
Place chicken in 10 qt pot, cover with water, helps to have a tall pot.
Boil until done, about 50-60 minutes
Cook cornbread while chicken is boiling
Rinse and dice onion, slice celery
Remove chicken from pot, let cool enough to debone
Place onion and celery in small pot, cover with broth from cooking chicken
boil until onion starts to turn clear
Place broth into large cooking pan about 4 inches deep
Break cornbread and biscuits into small pieces and put in broth
When done, place onions and celery in pan with other broth
Place mashed bouillon cube in broth
Pour in stuffin mix
Add can of chicken broth, pepper and sage
Put deboned chicken into broth
Add 6 raw eggs, make sure broth is not hot enough to cook eggs
Stir real good using a potato masher like Mam Maw did
It should be about 2 1/2 inches deep. Experience will tell you when it is not too thick or thin, depends on amount of broth and cornbread
Add as much of Mam Maw's TLC and you can
Bake at 400 degrees for 50 to 70 minutes. Check after 50 min, when done, top will be brown like cornbread but before sides get too done and middle will be mostly firm. More than 70 min, sides and bottom seem to get too done.
Still my favorite..
