Rinse the chicken, remove any excess fat, pat dry inside and out with a paper towel.

Spread corn bread pieces on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for approximately 15 minutes.

Place whole chicken in the bottom of a roasting pan with a cover. Stuff the cavity and the sides of the chicken with the stuffing (between the skin and the meat).
