French roast chicken (recipe)


  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Sprinkle the inside of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and then smear in 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  3. Truss and dry the chicken, and rub the skin with the other half of the butter.
  4. Baste: Melt butter in a small saucepan with cooking oil.
  5. Leave on stovetop with a basting brush for later use.
  6. Back to the chicken: Place the chicken, breast side up, in a shallow small roasting pan.
  7. Scatter the veggies around it, and set it on the rack in the preheated oven.
  8. Allow the chicken to brown slightly for 15 minutes, turning on the left side after 5 minutes, then onto the right side for the last 5 minutes.
  9. Baste with butter quickly after each turn so that the oven does not lose a lot of heat.
  10. Reduce heat to 350.
  11. Leave chicken on its side, baste every 8 to 10 minutes, using the butter in the bottom of the roasting pan once you have used up all of the baste in your bowl.
  12. Watch and adjust oven heat so that the chicken is noisy, but fat is not burning.
  13. Halfway through estimated roasting time (which is 70-80 minutes; so after about 35 minutes), salt the chicken and turn it onto its other side.
  14. Continue to baste regularly.
  15. 15 minutes before end of estimated roasting time, salt again and flip chicken breast side up.
  16. Continue to baste regularly.

  21. Add stock and boil rapidly over high heat, scraping up bits that are stuck in the pan witha wooden spoon.
  22. reduce to about 1/2 cup.
  23. Season with salt and pepper.
