Ingredients for the chicken 1 package (3.5 to 4 pounds) Just BARE® Whole Chicken without Giblets & Neck 3 small onions, thinly sliced 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon coarsely ground sea salt 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper 3/4 cup water for the stuffing 1 sourdough boule or round loaf (about 8 cups) torn and dried bread 1/4 cup butter 2 onions, coarsely chopped 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 ripe tomato, chopped 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions • Preheat oven to 425° F before roasting to ensure even cooking. Prior to preheating, position the oven rack so that the top of the chicken is just above the middle of the oven. • If desired, rinse and pat dry chicken. Tuck wings under and tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place chicken into heavy roasting pan. Loosen skin around chicken; with wooden spoon tuck slices of 1 onion, garlic slices and thyme sprigs under skin. Rub olive oil over chicken; sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. • Roast at 425° F for 50 to 60 minutes, or until internal temperature of thigh is 170° F. Add remaining 2 sliced onions to roasting pan during last 10 minutes of roasting. Remove chicken from pan; deglaze pan with 3/4 cup water. Reserve pan drippings. Let chicken stand 5 minutes before carving; meat temperature will rise as it rests. • In shallow baking pan place dried, torn bread. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; sauté chopped onions, garlic, sage and thyme for 6 to 8 minutes or until softened. Season with salt and pepper. Toss dried bread with onion mixture. Stir together pan drippings and egg; toss with bread mixture. Add tomato and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Bake at 400º F for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. Stir in remaining parsley. Serve with sliced roasted chicken.
