Ingredients

• 1 4-5 lb Whole chicken
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 cup Kikko wine or any white cooking wine
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 Lemon, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry the whole chicken with paper towels. Ensure the chicken is completely dry for a crispy finish.

Step 3

Season the chicken inside and out with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the skin for added flavor.

Step 4

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with 1 sprig of rosemary, 2 sprigs of thyme, and a few lemon slices.

Step 5

Place the chicken in a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken to promote even browning.

Step 6

Roast the chicken in the oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 7

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the Kikko wine sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 8

Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 9

Slowly pour in the Kikko wine and chicken broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add the remaining rosemary and thyme sprigs to the sauce for extra aroma.

Step 10

Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the herb sprigs and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to lock in the juices.

Step 12

Carve the chicken and serve with the warm Kikko wine sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
