Comment préparer 2Bleu's Sweet Chicken And Gravy
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons (57g) of softened butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves (reserve 1 sprig for garnish).
- Gently loosen the skin of the chicken breast and thighs with your fingers. Carefully slide about 2 tablespoons of the herbed butter under the skin.
- Spread the remaining herbed butter evenly over the outside of the chicken.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (50g) honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, or until warmed through and slightly thickened.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Pour the honey mixture over the chicken and into the pan.
- Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C). Loosely cover with foil if the chicken browns too quickly.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- While the chicken rests, carefully pour the pan juices into a fat separator or leave to cool and spoon off excess fat.
- Pour the skimmed pan juices into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the milk-flour mixture into the simmering pan juices. Add 3 tablespoons (42g) of cold butter.
- Stir or whisk gently and constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat. Pour the gravy into a gravy boat and garnish with the reserved thyme sprig.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the delicious gravy.
