Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Take the capon or chicken and loosen the skin by sliding your hand under the skin around the thighs and breast meat, tearing the connective tissue from the upper layer.
- Finely grate the onion using a box grater or food processor- make sure you don't lose the liquid from the onion; set aside.
- Cut the crusts from the bread; discard crusts (or reserve for some other dish).
- Sprinkle the bread with the water and let it sit for 3 minutes; squeeze the excess water from the slices, and crumble or roughly chop into pieces.
- To make the stuffing, thoroughly combine the moistened bread with the parsley, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, thyme or sage, and grated onion (together with the onion juice).
- Insert the stuffing between the loosened skin and meat of the capon: over the breast and into the thighs.
- Take a shallow roasting pan with a rack and place the capon breast-up on the rack.
- Rub the capon with the softened butter, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Roast at 375° for 45 minutes, basting frequently with the pan juices.
- Reduce the temperature to 350° and roast for an additional 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes, then carefully turn the capon over onto the breast and cook for another 15 minutes to brown the meat on the back.
- Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes then carve and serve hot, or also is good cold the next day.
