I like to use duck fat in place of butter to add richness. Use white bread or a mixture of whatever breads you prefer like sourdough or even cornbread. Since textures of breads can vary, add the chicken stock a little at a time until the breadcrumbs are moistened through. If not sure to add more chicken stock, let the breadcrumbs sit and absorb the chicken and add more if needed. Ingredients: 16oz white bread, torn into 1” (bite sized) pieces ¾ Cup Duck Fat (you can also use butter or bacon fat) 2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped 4 celery stalks, finely chopped ½ bunch parsley, chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped 2 large eggs 2-3 cups of chicken stock or more as needed (homemade is best) Butter for greasing pan Time: Prep: 10 minutes Cook time: 55-60 minutes Directions: Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place breadcrumbs on sheet pan and bake 30-45 minutes or until bread is dried out. Don’t leave in the oven too long. Check for slight browning around the edges and remove from heat. You don’t want to toast the bread. Transfer to large mixing bowl and preheat over to 350 degrees F. Heat the duck fat in a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Add the onions, celery and a pinch of salt and cook stirring occasionally until the onions have softened and are translucent about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the herbs. Transfer vegetables and herbs to the mixing bowl with the breadcrumbs. Fold the vegetables and herbs into the breadcrumbs until evenly distributed. Whisk eggs and chicken stock in mixing bowl. Add about a 1/3 of the stock and egg mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Add the remaining chicken stock and toss and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer stuffing to a buttered 9x13 baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and increase temp to 425 degrees F. and continue to bake until the top is browned with crunchy bits and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F.
