Roasted Chicken With Onions Potatoes And Gravy Recipes

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Rinse chicken, and pat dry with paper towels. Season inside with salt and pepper. Slice 2 onions crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rings. Place in a single layer in a roasting pan, about 13-by-16 inches. Slice 1 lemon into 1/4-inch-thick rings, and place on top of onions. Cut remaining onion and lemon into wedges, and stuff into cavity of chicken. Tie legs together with kitchen twine, and place on bed of onions and lemon. Brush with melted butter, and cook, basting occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cover with foil if skin gets too brown. Transfer chicken to platter or cutting board to rest while making gravy.
• Place pan with onions and drippings over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour, and stir constantly until well combined. Add chicken stock, and cook, stirring occasionally, until gravy thickens, about 3 minutes. Strain, discarding solids, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot over chicken.

GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.
• Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.

Transfer chicken to a platter, draining juices from the cavity of the chicken into the pan. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables and arrange around chicken on the serving platter.
• Bring pan drippings to a simmer over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of stock and whisk until smooth. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
