Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme Spring is all around us and nature is waking up! I feel it's also time to wake up the palate with fresh, vibrant flavours! Lemon and thyme not only do the trick, but they also look the part. Sunny yellow and cheerful green garnish liven up this roast chicken and in turn, will brighten up your springtime table. Perfect accompaniments to complete the meal would be locally grown peas and boiled new potatoes. · 2 tbsp flour · 1/2 cup white wine · 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock, or water · Sea salt Method · Remove the chicken to a cutting board or serving platter and tent with foil until the gravy is done · Remove 2 tbsp fat from the roasting pan and put into a small pot with the flour, whisk together and heat on low (discard the rest of the fat) · Place the roasting pan on the stove top on medium heat, pour in the wine, water or stock and with a wooden spoon, scrape up the bits and simmer for a couple of minutes · Slowly whisk this liquid into the pot with the flour mixture and turn up the heat to medium · Simmer for a few minutes until thickened, season with salt · Brush the chicken with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and put into the oven · Roast for 20 minutes per 500 grams, plus 20 minutes more, until the inner temperature reads 160 degrees on your thermometer and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced · To garnish, sprinkle the chopped thyme and parsley over the chicken and arrange extra herbs and lemon slices --Sarah Visheau is a Red Seal certified Chef, trained at Stratford Chef School (graduated with honours 1999).
