Time 3h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (120 g) box chicken flavor stuffing mix
1 1/4 cups hot water (hot tap water is ok)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and rough chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon poultry seasoning, to taste
1 (5 lb) chicken (fresh or frozen, thawed) or 1 (5 lb) turkey (fresh or frozen, thawed)
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup butter, softened
aluminum foil
chicken giblets
water, to cover
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
3 -4 tablespoons flour or 3 -4 tablespoons cornstarch
hot water, to thin if necessary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Empty contents of stuffing box, both the bread crumb and seasoning envelopes, into a medium bowl.
  • Add hot water and butter; stir to mix.
  • Add chopped water chestnuts, onion and poultry seasoning, mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Check inside the chicken for giblets, remove and set aside.
  • Rinse chicken inside and out with cold running water.
  • Dry thoroughly inside and out with paper towel.
  • Sprinkle salt and fresh ground pepper inside the cavity and all over the outside.
  • Place chicken in a roaster.
  • Loosely pack the stuffing mix into the main cavity and any left into the neck cavity folding the skin over it.
  • If necessary secure the neck skin with a pick.
  • Take a length of kitchen string and tie the ends of the legs as close together as possible.
  • Rub the butter all over the outside of the chicken making sure to cover the whole outside surface.
  • Take two lengths of aluminum foil, place one piece over the chicken lengthwise, take the other piece and place it sideways over the first piece.
  • Tuck the foil tightly to the chicken so it is touching the bottom of the roaster but not under the bird.
  • If the bird is not completely covered (except for the underside) Use a third piece to finish covering.
  • Place the roaster on the middle rack of the oven and roast at 400f degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat after 15 minutes to 350f degrees and roast for approximately 2 hours.
  • At about 2 hours, carefully lift the aluminum foil and poke the chicken with a fork, if the juice runs clear, remove the foil and roast a further 30 minutes to brown the skin to golden.
  • If the juice is not yet clear, roast a little longer and check again.
  • Once the chicken is well browned, remove to platter, cover with foil and let rest.
  • In the meantime, if you wish to make giblet gravy, take the giblets (and neck if it's there), place in a saucepan, cover with water, add salt and pepper and a little poultry seasoning if you wish, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for at least an hour.
  • Remove to strainer, reserving liquid.
  • Chop the giblets and pick any meat off neck bones, add to a blender and add the liquid.
  • Blend to liquefy level, add 3 or 4 tablespoons flour or corn starch and blend to mix well.
  • Pour off as much fat as possible from the roaster, take a whisk and move up any bits and pieces of stuffing/chicken stuck to the bottom, remove any large pieces of skin, add the giblet mix from the blender, whisk around; place in 450°F to 500°F degree oven until bubbly, about 10 minutes; add a small amount of hot water if necessary if it is too thick until it is the consistancy you want, cook another 5 minutes.
  • (We like ours very thick) Whisk and pour into gravy boat and serve hot with the roast chicken.
  • Gravy can also be made without the giblets, just whisk up the brown bits in the roaster and add 1 cup of hot water and make a slurry of cold water and either flour or corn starch, add the slurry and whisk, cook the same as above adding a little more water if necessary.

EASY CHICKEN GRAVY



Easy Chicken Gravy image

Great for when you need a quick gravy and don't have any drippings. For thicker gravy just add a bit more bisquick or less broth. You may also use your own favorite seasoning in place of the poultry seasoning. Sometimes I use onion powder. Add some gravy browner for color if you want, too.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1 quart, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

28 ounces chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder (optional)
2/3 cup Bisquick baking mix

Steps:

  • In blender, combine broth, poultry seasoning, bouillon powder and Bisquick.
  • Blend at high speed, about 1/2 minute or until smooth.
  • Pour into saucepan and stir constantly over medium high heat, until it comes to a boil and is smooth and thickened.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful chicken stock: The quality of your chicken stock will make a big difference in the flavor of your gravy. Look for a stock that is made with real chicken bones and vegetables.
  • Don't skip the aromatics: Onion, celery, and carrots are the holy trinity of aromatics, and they add a lot of flavor to gravy. Be sure to sweat them until they are soft and translucent before adding the flour.
  • Use a roux to thicken the gravy: A roux is a mixture of equal parts flour and butter. It is cooked together until it is golden brown and then used to thicken the gravy. A roux will give your gravy a rich, creamy texture.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for gravy, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Let the gravy simmer: Simmering the gravy for a while will help to develop its flavor and thicken it. Be sure to stir the gravy frequently so that it doesn't scorch.

Conclusion:

Chicken gravy is a versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious chicken gravy that will elevate any meal.
