Roast Chicken With Balsamic Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Twist wing tips under wings. Spread butter over chicken skin and pop a little inside the cavity too. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken breast side up on a rack. Roast for 1 1/2 hrs. basting occasionally with the juices from the bottom of the pan. Let chicken rest on a carving board while you make the gravy.
  • Discard fat from roasting pan leaving 2 tbsp. of fat. On medium heat, reheat the fat and sprinkle in the flour. Stir together until flour tuns golden brown, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in stock. Bring to a boil, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the roasting pan. Add the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Carve chicken and serve drizzled with sauce.

    Looks wonderful! With my new-found bird-roasting capacity I am no longer intimidated, only inspired :-)

    What a lovely recipe. You drew me in with the balsalmic gravy. I love the stuff. I took a whole bottle of the inexpensive balsalmic vinegar and reduced it on very low heat with a generous shot of orange blossom honey (I had two garlic cloves on a skewer sitting in the heating vinegar and just threw them out when they had done their duty) until it was one third the volume. I used it over our Brussel Sprouts at Thanksgiving. I brushed it over our ham steak while it heated in the oven yesterday and it was so good. I only have a smidgeon left, but I can see it brushed on a roasting bird as only a good thing.

    This looks great. I have only made a whole chicken 2 times. Both in the BBQ. I want to try this. Thanks for sharing
