ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND THYME
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry.
- In a small bowl, make a compound butter by combining the softened butter, minced thyme, garlic cloves, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Season the cavity of the chicken generously with salt, and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the lemon quarters, a handful of fresh thyme leaves, and the quartered onion. Place the carrot, celery and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan and place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Cross the legs and tie with kitchen twine.
- Gently lift the skin away from the chicken and spread 2 tablespoons of the softened butter mixture underneath the skin, distributing it evenly. Spread the remaining butter over the entire surface of the chicken and season generously with salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and roast the chicken until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a cutting board to rest for about 15 minutes. Tent the chicken with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Pour the pan juices into a large glass measuring cup. Spoon the fat off the top. Add the chicken broth to the roasting pan and place over high heat. Bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Return the pan juices to the pan. Whisk the flour into the broth mixture and bring to a boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt, and pepper. Serve alongside the roast chicken.
- Roasted Chicken Variations:
- Honey-Glazed Chicken: Season the butter with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons honey.
- Soy-Ginger Chicken: Season the butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- For the chicken: Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff the chicken cavity with the shallot, half the thyme, and lemon zest. Set a v-rack or regular rack in a roasting pan, and brush chicken with a bit of the olive oil. Whisk the honey and remaining oil in a small bowl. Dip the remaining thyme in the mixture and use it to brush the chicken all over with the honey mixture. Season bird with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Tuck the wings under the back, cross the legs, and tie them with kitchen string. Place the chicken breast side down on the rack and roast until the back is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken breast side up. Cut the string where it holds the legs together and open up the legs a bit. Baste the chicken with the pan drippings, using the thyme sprigs as a brush. Roast the chicken again until the breast is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 170 degrees F., 20 to 25 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a carving board, and let it rest 10 minutes before carving.
- For the sauce: Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Put the pan over medium-high heat, add the water, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Strain the pan drippings into a small bowl and spoon off the fat. Whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, shallot, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Carve the chicken and serve drizzled with the sauce.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to gas mark 6/400F/200°C.
- Pick the thyme leaves off and discard the stalks and finely chop the leaves.
- In a bowl, put the knob of butter and add half of the chopped thyme and the grated garlic and give it all a good mix.
- Lift the skin of the chicken with your fingers and push the herbed butter underneath the skin (you need to be very gentle as to not tear the skin).
- Season the chicken well inside and out.
- Slightly warm the honey in another bowl.
- Split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape the inside with the back of a knife and mix into the warmed honey.
- Add the remaining chopped thyme into the honey mixture.

- Pick the rosemary leaves and roughly chop them.
- Toss all the vegetables in a little oil, add in the rosemary and season it well and place them in another roasting tray.
- Cook the chicken in the centre shelf and the vegetables in the bottom shelf.
- The vegetables will take about 30-35 minutes to cook (but the tray needs to be shaken and vegetables turned over every 15 minutes but be careful not to break them).
- The chicken will take about 1 hour to cook, basting it with the juices every 15 minutes as well.
- Meanwhile, to make the mash, peel the potatoes and chop them into large chunks and boil them in seasoned water until soft.
- Mash the potatoes and add the butter and season it well.
- Pass it through a sieve to get rid of any lumps and cover to keep warm.

- Pour the juices into a saucepan and bring it to boil for about 5 minutes.
- Whip the cream lightly.
- Add 2tbsp of the whipped cream into gravy in the saucepan and when it has warmed through remove from heat.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Fold the wings of the chicken across the back so tips are touching. There may be a little resistance, but once they are in this position, they will stay. Tie the legs to the tail with string or use skewers; if the tail is missing, tie the legs together.
- In a shallow roasting pan, place the chicken with the breast side up. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is in the thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. Roast chicken uncovered 45 minutes.
- While the chicken is roasting, peel the carrots, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut the celery into 1-inch pieces. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush or peel the potatoes, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the onions, and cut into wedges.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Arrange the carrots, celery, potatoes and onions around the chicken. In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat just until melted. (Or place the butter in a small microwavable bowl; cover with a microwavable paper towel and microwave on High 10 to 20 seconds or until melted.) Stir the thyme into the butter, then drizzle over the chicken and vegetables.
- Cover the chicken and vegetables with foil; roast 45 to 60 minutes longer or until the thermometer reads 180°F and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Or check for doneness by wiggling the legs; if they move easily, the chicken is done.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan, and cover with foil to keep warm while carving the chicken.
- Place chicken, breast up and with its legs to your right if you're right-handed or to the left if left-handed, on cutting board. Remove ties from legs.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for the best flavor. A whole chicken will give you more meat and more flavor than just chicken breasts or thighs.
- Make sure the chicken is well seasoned. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme before roasting. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Roasted chicken with thyme and honey cream is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the thyme and honey cream sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve the chicken with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
