LEMON & THYME BUTTER-BASTED ROAST CHICKEN & GRAVY



Lemon & thyme butter-basted roast chicken & gravy image

Smoothing butter under the bird's skin helps to baste the chicken and herbs add a delicious flavour to the gravy

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

50g butter , softened
bunch fresh thyme or lemon thyme, leaves picked, stalks reserved, plus extra to serve
4 garlic cloves , 1 mashed, the other 3 left whole but squashed
2 lemons , halved
1 chicken , about 1.5kg
2 carrots , roughly chopped
1 onion , roughly chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp plain flour
250ml chicken stock
splash soy sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mash the butter with one-third of the thyme leaves, the mashed garlic and the juice of half a lemon. Mix everything together with some seasoning and set aside.
  • Use your hand to loosen the chicken skin away from the breast, then push most of the butter mix into the gap. Rub the rest of the butter all over the outside of the chicken, then stuff the cavity with the lemon halves, remaining thyme leaves and stalks, and the garlic.
  • Scatter the chopped carrot, onion and bay leaves over the base of a small roasting tin. Sit the chicken on top, breast-side up, and roast on the middle shelf for 1 hr 30 mins, basting with the buttery juices after about 40 mins. When the chicken is dark golden, crispy-skinned and the juices run clear, remove from the oven and leave in the tin for 5 mins. Use a pair of tongs to pull the lemons, garlic and thyme out of the cavity and into the tin. Lift the chicken up, letting any juices dribble into the tin, and transfer the chicken to a serving platter to rest for at least another 15 mins.
  • To make the gravy, squeeze the juice out of the cooked lemon halves and discard the skins. Place the tin on a low heat, stir in flour and sizzle until light brown. Gradually pour in the stock and cook for a few mins. If you like a darker gravy, add a splash of soy sauce to the tin. Strain the gravy into a jug and serve with the chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe, ensuring even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides a vibrant, tangy flavor that bottled or concentrated lemon juice cannot match. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, use high-quality bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
  • Cook the chicken until golden brown: Searing the chicken until golden brown adds depth of flavor and prevents it from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality dry white wine: A dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, adds subtle flavor and acidity to the sauce. Avoid using cooking wine, as it can have a harsh taste.
  • Make sure the sauce has thickened: Simmer the sauce until it has thickened slightly, ensuring it will coat the chicken and rice well.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to achieve your desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon chicken with gravy is a classic dish that is both flavorful and versatile. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its tender chicken, tangy lemon sauce, and fluffy rice, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. The tips provided in this recipe will help you achieve the best results, ensuring a delicious and satisfying meal. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad, for a complete and balanced meal.
