👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine chopped walnuts, diced apples, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, melted butter, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the stuffing.
- 3
Loosely stuff the chicken cavity with the walnut and apple mixture. Do not overstuff, as the stuffing will expand slightly.
- 4
Place the stuffed chicken in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- 5
Roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- 6
Baste the chicken with its own juices every 20-30 minutes during roasting for extra moisture and flavor.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with the stuffing on the side.
💡 Dicas Profissionais

- ✓If the chicken skin starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
- ✓You can add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the bottom of the roasting pan to create more pan juices.
- ✓For a richer stuffing, sauté the onion in a little butter before adding it to the mixture.
