How to Make Roast Capon With Mushroom Stuffing

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the stuffing: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, bread crumbs, herbs, onion, celery, and broth. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Rinse the capon inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Gently loosen the skin over the breast and thighs of the capon.
  5. Spoon the stuffing evenly into the capon cavity, being careful not to overfill.
  6. Tuck the wings behind the back and tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
  7. Place the capon in a roasting pan and add 1 cup of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan.
  8. Roast for approximately 2-2.5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C). Baste the capon with pan juices every 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the capon from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
  10. Carve and serve the capon with the delicious mushroom stuffing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
