Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ pound small red potatoes, halved
2 large carrots, sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch long rounds
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups College Inn® Unsalted Bold Chicken Stock, divided, plus more as needed
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in lower third of oven with no racks above it; preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place potatoes, carrots, thyme and rosemary in a 12-inch cast iron or other oven-safe deep skillet. Season with salt and pepper and pour in 1 cup of stock. Rub skin of chicken with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place chicken breast-side-up on top of vegetables.
  • Roast chicken, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes, about 60 to 75 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Transfer chicken to a platter, draining juices from the cavity of the chicken into the pan. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables and arrange around chicken on the serving platter.
  • Bring pan drippings to a simmer over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of stock and whisk until smooth. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. If too thick, whisk in additional stock 2 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached. Add cream, if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Carve the chicken and serve with the vegetables and gravy.

  • 6. After sitting for 15 minutes, remove bird and veggies to platter. Return pot with juices to stovetop. (Juices will be highly concentrated) Thicken with flour or cornstarch and bring to a rolling boil. ( Gravy will not reach its full thickness until it boils. ) If too thick, thin with chicken broth.

Provided by Lovefoodies lovefoodies

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 lb whole chicken
1 medium onion
2 clove garlic
2 Tbsp tarragon
1 large juice from 1 lemon
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a flavorful and juicy chicken, select a free-range or organic chicken.
  • Prep the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out, and pat it dry. Remove any excess fat or skin.
  • Season the chicken: Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. You can also add a compound butter or olive oil mixture under the skin for extra flavor.
  • Roast the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Baste the chicken with pan juices every 20-30 minutes for a crispy skin.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a tender and moist chicken.
  • Serve and enjoy: Carve the chicken and serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation and cooking, you can achieve a perfectly roasted chicken that is both flavorful and succulent.

Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, roasting a chicken is a rewarding and delicious experience.
