Ingredients

• 4 pounds Whole chicken
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 5 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 unit Lemon
• 1 bunch Fresh thyme
• 3 units Carrots
• 3 units Celery sticks
• 1 unit Onion
• 2 cups Gluten-free chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

Step 3

Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves, then place them inside the cavity of the chicken along with the lemon (cut into quarters) and the bunch of thyme.

Step 5

Roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Scatter them around the bottom of the roasting pan.

Step 6

Tuck the wings of the chicken underneath the body, and, if desired, tie the legs together with kitchen twine.

Step 7

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken to a platter and tent with aluminum foil, allowing it to rest while you make the gravy.

Step 9

For the gravy, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 10

Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and stir continuously to form a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes without browning.

Step 11

Gradually whisk in the gluten-free chicken broth until the gravy is smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 12

Pour any juices from the resting chicken into the gravy and mix well.

Step 13

Strain the vegetables from the roasting pan and discard them or serve them alongside the chicken.

Step 14

Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve it alongside the roast chicken.
