Eva Claiborne'S Hen And Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (6 pound) whole chicken
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 stalks celery
    salt to taste
    2 (9x9 inch) pans cornbread, cooled and crumbled
    12 biscuits, crumbled
    2 cups diced celery
    2 large onions, chopped
    1 tablespoon dried sage
    1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
    seasoned salt to taste
    1 dash crushed red pepper
    9 eggs, beaten
Preparation
    Place chicken, 1 onion, 2 stalks celery, and salt in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and gently boil 90 minutes, or until chicken meat falls easily from the bone. Drain, reserving broth. Chop chicken, and set aside.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
    In a large bowl, mix crumbled cornbread, crumbled biscuits, 2 cups celery, 2 large onions, sage, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, and red pepper. Stir in eggs and reserved chicken broth. The mixture should be very thin.
    Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring often.
    Mix chicken into the dressing mixture. Continue baking 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
