STUFFED ROASTED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Place a large frying pan over over heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add carrots, celery, onions, garlic and salt and pepper. Can do this in batches if needed. Allow vegetables to brown and caramelize then place in large Dutch oven. Sprinkle inside and out of chicken with salt and pepper and paprika. Then place the chicken on the hot frying pan and brown both sides. Place chicken in Dutch oven over the vegetables and if desired stuff the inside with bread stuffing of choice. Pour wine and broth over top and cover and place in oven. Cook for about 40 minutes, then uncover and cook for another 15 minutes or so to allow skin to brown and crisp. Chicken is done when a thermometer reads 165F. If you stuffed the chicken, it is ideal for the stuffing to reach a temp of 170, it is best to remove it from the cavity and let it cook a little longer on its own. I personally like it crispy so this works for me.
