ROAST CHICKEN WITH JUS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken, giblets removed and reserved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 carrot, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 celery stalk, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned low-sodium canned

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and fold the wing tips under the back. Put the carrot, onion, celery, neck, and heart, if using, in the center of a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate the chicken. (Discard the liver or reserve for another recipe.) Season the butter with salt and pepper and brush the entire chicken with it. Set the bird breast-side up on top of the vegetables.
  • Roast the chicken for 45 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 425 degrees F., cooking until an instant-read thermometer stuck into the chicken thigh registers 160 to 170 degrees F., about 15 minutes more. Tip the chicken so the juices run into the pan. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil while making the jus.
  • To make the jus: Set a strainer over a bowl. Strain the vegetables, giblets, if using, and pan juices into the strainer. Shake the strainer to get more juices into the bowl. Set strainer aside. Skim most of the fat from the surface of the liquid with a spoon, or alternately, use a degreasing cup. Reserve the pan juices.
  • Place the roasting pan directly on a burner set at medium-high. Pour the chicken broth into the pan, and scrape the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen all the browned bits that cling to the pan. Add the reserved pan juices, increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until slightly thickened. Return the reserved vegetables to the sauce, if desired, or carefully strain jus through a fine sieve into a serving bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Carve the chicken and serve with the jus.

ROASTED CHICKEN JUS

Categories     condiment

Time 55m

Yield approx 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 chicken wings
1 large onion, quartered
3 medium carrots, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
5 sprigs thyme
1 head garlic, cut in 1/2
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a roasting pan add chicken wings, vegetables, thyme and garlic. Season well with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes until the wings are nice and brown.
  • Remove from the oven and set over medium-high heat on the stove top. Add white wine to deglaze and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Add the chicken stock and continue to simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid until about 1 cup remains. Remove from heat and strain through a china cap, pushing some of the vegetable pulp through the strainer with the back of a ladle - this will help thicken the jus slightly. Add the cold butter cubes to the jus and swirl until it melts. Season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: Roasting a whole chicken is more flavorful and economical than using chicken parts.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken liberally: Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Use a roasting pan with a rack: This will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roast the chicken at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Make the jus: While the chicken is roasting, make the jus by whisking together chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice.
  • Baste the chicken: Baste the chicken with the jus every 20 minutes while it is roasting. This will help keep the chicken moist.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

This pan-roasted chicken au jus is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the jus is rich and savory. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
