This roasted chicken takes a little preparation and a little patience. Browning the chicken before roasting it gets a little messy. The small hassle is time well spent, though; the flavor is superior to that of more simply prepared roasts.

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
16 white pearl onions, peeled and trimmed
5 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 garlic cloves, separated and peeled
1 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 (4 -5 lb) roasting chickens, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup Chardonnay wine
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic cloves, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • When the vegetables are caramelized, spoon them along the sides of a large roasting pan and set it aside.
  • Reduce the burner heat slightly and allow the pan to cool a bit.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to pan and return the pan to medium-high heat.
  • Season the prepared chicken with the remaining salt and pepper, and brown it in the hot oil.
  • Transfer the chicken to the center of the roasting pan, carefully cut 1-inch slits into the skin, and pour the pan juices on top of the chicken.
  • Very carefully pull open the slits in the skin and rub the lemon zest, parsley, rosemary, and thyme under the skin.
  • Add the wine to the skillet and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  • After the wine has simmered for 30 seconds, add the chicken stock and heat through.
  • Pour the wine sauce over the chicken. Cover the roasting pan with a lid or tightly sealed foil and roast in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, until the chicken tests 170 when a thermometer is inserted in the thigh.
  • Allow the chicken to stand at room temperature in the pan for 10 minutes before carving.
