  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  • Wash the chicken and dry it.
  • Cover the chicken inside and out with plenty of butter and celery salt.
  • Separately, in 1/2 liter of water, cook the giblets with a tablespoon of powdered consommé.
  • Cut the loaf of bread into cubes with the crust, and also chop the onion, celery, and cooked giblets. (Do not discard the cooking water)
  • In a deep pot, add a bit of butter with a teaspoon of oil and sauté the onion; once transparent, add the celery, bread, and giblets.
  • Add a bit of the water in which the giblets were cooked to the previous mixture so that the bread is just moistened.
  • Stuff the chicken with the bread mixture we prepared earlier.
  • Tie the legs and wings of the chicken so they do not open and the filling does not spill out.
  • Preferably place it in a baking bag or, if not available, aluminum foil, although I prefer the bag because it keeps all the juices released by the chicken.
  • Put it in the oven for approximately 1:30 to 2 hours depending on the size of the chicken. We know it is ready when it is nicely browned.
  • Remove the filling and serve it separately.
  • With the juice released by the chicken, make a gravy by adding a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. To make it more gravy-like, you can buy a packet that says to prepare gravy sauce (the dark one) and add it to the gravy we already have, following the packet instructions.
