CHICKEN
1 whole chicken
1/2 medium onion
4 clove garlic
2 Tbsp butter cut into 2 pieces
duck fat or olive oil
salt, pepper and paprika
THYME SHERRY VINEGAR PAN SAUCE
1 large shallot diced
2 clove garlic minced
2 tsp fresh thyme chopped
1 c chicken broth
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
3 Tbsp cold butter cut into 3 pieces
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. For the chicken. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place a cast iron skillet in the oven big enough to fit the bird. Clean and dry the chicken. Place the half onion and 4 cloves garlic into the cavity. Truss the legs with butchers twine. Rub the duck fat or olive oil all over the outside of the chicken. Place the two pats of butter under the skin of the chicken breasts. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
  • 2. Place the chicken breast side up in the cast iron pan in oven. Tent with foil. Roast for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the chicken in the oven for another 45 minutes. Until thighs register 175 degrees.
  • 3. Remove the chicken from the pan to carving board and let rest while making pan sauce
  • 4. For the pan sauce. Pour the drippings into a fat separator and add back to pan about 2 tbsp. drippings. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over medium high heat until softened. Add the thyme and cook 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and mustard. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer until reduced to about 1 cup. Add the butter one pat at a time and whisk until melted. Stir in the vinegar. Remove from heat and taste to adjust for salt and pepper.
  • 5. Carve the chicken and serve with pan sauce
