Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine matzo farfel and hot water. Let sit for 5 minutes until softened, then drain excess water.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sauté onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add to matzo farfel.
Step 4
Stir in beaten eggs, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Mix well.
Step 5
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavity loosely with the matzo mixture. Secure legs with kitchen twine and tuck wing tips under.
Step 6
Rub chicken all over with schmaltz or olive oil. Season with paprika, additional salt and pepper.
Step 7
Place chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan (not over the chicken).
Step 8
Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thigh.
Step 9
Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with remaining stuffing on the side.
