Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 Whole chicken (4-5 lbs)
- 3 tbsp Lard (butter or ok if you do not have lard)
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth, 1/4 cup for gravy
- 1 Carrot peeled and cut in half
- 1 Stalk of celery cut in half
- 1 Onion, quartered
- 1 tsp Cornstarch, 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt and pepper combination
- 1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Give the chicken a good rubbing of lard. Rub on the outside, separate the skin at the breast area and rub under the skin.
- Mix the salt, pepper, and onion powder and rub on chicken. Put veggies in baking dish, add chicken.
- I love using my air fryer oven, temp set at 375°, roast option. If using a regular oven, start temp at 400°, and after 20 min lower to 375°
- After 20 minutes, add white wine. After 30 minutes, add 1/2 cup chicken broth. You want liquid at the bottom. Add a little more broth if you have to. You can also baste the chicken every 15 minutes. Cook chicken for 2 hours and make sure internal temperature is 165°.
- Remove chicken and veggies and put on cutting board to rest, tent with foil
- Take liquid and add to a saucepan, cook on low/med heat. Add 1/4 cup of chicken broth, stir and bring to a slow boil. Mix cornstarch with water, add to gravy mixture, add a pinch of salt, or more to your liking. Cook till gravy get a nice thickness. Serve with roasted chicken – I add a little rosemary on top for color.
