Proudly supported by

Looking for a cracking new roast chook recipe? Well we have just what you need! The whole family will LOVE it!

Ingredients

1.8kg fresh whole chicken

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

½ teaspoon sea salt flakes

650g packet frozen traditional roast potatoes

1/2 cup dry white wine

¼ cup Gravox Our Best Chicken Gravy powder

Steamed peas, to serve

Method

  1. Using absorbent kitchen paper, pat chicken dry tucking the wings underneath. Place breast-side up, in an oiled, large, non-stick, flameproof roasting pan. 

  2. Combine oil, garlic, thyme and salt in a small bowl. Pour over chicken, using your hands to coat evenly. 

  3. Cook, uncovered, in a moderate oven (180C) for 1 hour. Place potatoes on an oven tray. Place on a shelf in the top half of the same oven.

  4. Cook chicken for a further 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked when juices run clear when pierced with a skewer between the thigh and breast. Remove from oven. 

  5. Increase oven temperature to hot (200C). Cook potatoes for a further 10 minutes or until crisp.

  6. Meanwhile, transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside roasting pan. Rest chicken, lightly covered with foil. 

  7. To make gravy, drain excess oil from roasting pan, leaving pieces clinging to the base of pan. Place pan over a medium to high heat. Add wine. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring to scape off pieces for about 2 minutes, or until thickened. 

  8. Add 2 cups water. Bring to boil. Sprinkle over gravy powder, whisking until combined. Boil, stirring occasionally for a further 2 minutes, or until thickened. Strain through a sieve into a jug. 

  9. Serve chicken with gravy, roast potatoes and steamed peas.

     

    TIP! To make gravy using regular Gravox chicken powder, follow directions in Steps 7 and 8 using 5 tablespoons of powder. For a change, thyme can be replaced with lemon thyme, rosemary or oregano.
