The Best Roast Chicken With Wine, Herbs and Garlic
Jul 28, 2024 11:50 AM
This recipe for roast chicken, wine, herbs and garlic is one of my all-time favourite roast chicken recipes. It is the one thing I make when I’m looking for an effortlessly delicious supper. The pan juices coat the chicken making it ultra-succulent.
There might seem like an excessive amount of herbs and liquid in this recipe. Trust me you will wish you had more. I always top the tray up with a little more liquid after an hour to ensure I have enough of that delicious jus.
I have stuffed a few extra herbs along with half a lemon into the cavity of the chicken. This brightens the dish up without adding too much acidity. The wine delivers enough of that.
