This is my tried and true Roast Chicken recipe. It's comfort food but totally beautiful enough to serve for 'Sunday Dinner'. Serve it with the 'Chalet' sauce on the side and you'll be licking the dish for sure!
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken shopping list
- margarine shopping list
- lemon juice shopping list
- Thyme (use leaves not ground) shopping list
- paprika shopping list
- 2 cups chicken stock (I use home-made) shopping list
- 1/4 cup ketchup shopping list
- 2 tbsp. worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. ginger shopping list
- dash of Tabasco shopping list
- 2 tbsp. cornstarch shopping list
- 2 tbsp. water shopping list
How to make it
- Grease the bottom of a roasting pan.
- Rub outside of chicken with margarine and then sprinkle with about a tbsp. of lemon juice. Sprinkle with thyme and paprika.
- Pop the chicken in a 350F oven for 1-11/2 hrs. or until juices run clear when pricked with a fork. I keep it covered until the last few minutes of cooking and then take the cover off to finish browning.
- While the chicken is in the oven, make your sauce on the stove top.
- I make my own chicken broth which I like the best as I've been able to let all the fat float to the top and skim it off before using it, but you could use a couple of Oxo bouillon cubes dissolved in a couple of cups of water or 1 Oxo cube in a cup of water and 1 cup of juices from the cooked chicken (just don't get a lot of grease in there or the sauce won't taste as good)
- To the two cups of chicken stock in the saucepan, add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, and Tabasco.
- In a little dish, combine the cornstarch with the water and mix well. Add to chicken broth mixture to thicken sauce.
- Serve your beautiful roast Chicken on a nice platter with individual little ramekins at each person's plate filled with the Chalet Sauce for dipping.
- It can't get any better than this! Enjoy!
