FRENCH ROAST CHICKEN
Julia Child's recipe from 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking.' This makes a wonderful, moist, juicy bird. I think it's the turning technique while roasting that does it. It may sound like a lot of work, but it really isn't much more than roasting a bird any other way. The sauce reduction is a LOT easier than any gravy, and is out of this world! In the book, she suggests serving this with green beans or peas (buttered, of course! this IS French cooking!) and sauted, roasted, fried, or souffleed potatoes, or potato crepes. I have also posted the recipe for brown chicken stock, which can quite easily be simmering away as you cook the bird (you don't need the stock until the very end). Using the homemade stock makes a huge difference in the flavour, but it can be substituted, I suppose.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Sprinkle the inside of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and then smear in 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Truss and dry the chicken, and rub the skin with the other half of the butter.
- Baste: Melt butter in a small saucepan with cooking oil.
- Leave on stovetop with a basting brush for later use.
- Back to the chicken: Place the chicken, breast side up, in a shallow small roasting pan.
- Scatter the veggies around it, and set it on the rack in the preheated oven.
- Allow the chicken to brown slightly for 15 minutes, turning on the left side after 5 minutes, then onto the right side for the last 5 minutes.
- Baste with butter quickly after each turn so that the oven does not lose a lot of heat.
- Reduce heat to 350.
- Leave chicken on its side, baste every 8 to 10 minutes, using the butter in the bottom of the roasting pan once you have used up all of the baste in your bowl.
- Watch and adjust oven heat so that the chicken is noisy, but fat is not burning.
- Halfway through estimated roasting time (which is 70-80 minutes; so after about 35 minutes), salt the chicken and turn it onto its other side.
- Continue to baste regularly.
- 15 minutes before end of estimated roasting time, salt again and flip chicken breast side up.
- Continue to baste regularly.
- Chicken will be done when drumstick moves easily in socket and juices run a clear yellow.
- Let sit on a platter 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
- Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan.
- Stir in shallot or onion and cook slowly for 1 minute.
- Add stock and boil rapidly over high heat, scraping up bits that are stuck in the pan witha wooden spoon.
- reduce to about 1/2 cup.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Off heat just before serving, swirl in the last 1 to 2 tablespoons butter by bits until it is absorbed.
- Pour a spoon of the sauce onto the chicken, then pour the rest into a gravy boat and serve with the chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350F - use the convection setting if you have it.
- Start with a whole chicken, about 3.5-4 lbs.
- Remove the insides. Your bagged chicken might have a neck and gizzards inside the cavity. Reach your hand inside and pull them out. You can wear a glove if you prefer. You can discard the neck and the gizzards unless you are planning to make chicken Soup with the carcass - in that case keep the neck to add to the bouillon for flavor.
- Pat down the chicken with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Removing the moisture helps to make a crispy skin!
- Set the chicken in a roasting pan greased with olive oil. I use a pan big enough with space around it for the potatoes (Roasted Chicken is always served with potatoes in France!)
- Inside the chicken cavity add the Rosemary, sage and thyme for flavor as well as several cloves of garlic and a pinch of coarse salt.
- Using cooking twine, tie the legs together. This is not necessary but a chicken does look more elegant with her knees together...!
- Sprinkle coarse salt over the top of the chicken
- Drizzle 1/4 cup of olive oil generously over the chicken.
- Slice a whole head of garlic, skin on, in half (width wise) and place each half on opposite sides of the pan (skin side down)
- Arrange the diced potatoes around the chicken and garlic.
- Add the remaining olive oil over the garlic and potatoes.
- Place 3 tablespoons of butter around the potatoes. (Using butter as well as olive oil on the potatoes makes for the most amazing crispy potatoes!)
- Place your roasting pan on the middle rack of your oven. Set the timer for 1 hour 45 minutes
- Halfway though, take the roasting pan out of the oven and give the potatoes a stir so that they brown on all sides. Spoon some of the liquid at the bottom of the pan over the chicken to keep it moist. Set the chicken back in the oven and leave it alone until time is up!
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 20 minutes before serving.

- In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the smashed garlic and place over very low heat. You will use this to baste the chicken while it’s roasting.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven (leave the vegetables in the roasting pan), place it on a cutting board (preferably one that has a drain ridge to catch any juices), cover it loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before you carve it.
10 FRENCH CHICKEN RECIPES TO MAKE RIGHT NOW | KITCHN
From thekitchn.com
- French Chicken Casserole a la Normande from Vikalinka. Bacon, apples, sautéed shallots, and a little fresh thyme bring the classic flavors of Normandy into this chicken casserole.
- Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère. French onion soup is one of the most iconic dishes around, and somehow, improbably, this version — adding chicken thighs and mustard — manages to leave the best parts intact while creating a wholly different dish.
- Slow Cooker Creamy French Mustard Chicken. “More mustard” is all but a motto when it comes to cooking chicken in the French style, and this slow-cooker dish takes that to heart, adding both grainy and smooth Dijon mustards to the classic base of white wine, shallots, and cream.
- Chicken Cordon Bleu from A Family Feast. If comfort food were designed in a lab to be the most comforting, it would come out like chicken cordon bleu: breading on the outside, creamy sauce over top, and cheesy ham inside.
- Crispy Skillet Chicken in White Wine Sauce from A Saucy Kitchen. Wine is chicken’s culinary best friend. The French are well aware (you’ll see it multiple times on this page), and incorporate it nicely into recipes like this one.
- Creamy Champagne Chicken from Cafe Delites. Silky sauces and perfectly cooked chicken complement each other’s textures in a way that makes for a stellar dish.
- Roasted Chicken Thighs with Garlic from Cooking Classy. Roasted chicken is good, but roasting the thighs alone gives you all the best parts without having to share or settle for breast meat.
- Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs from Damn Delicious. While the previous recipe highlights how well the skin of a chicken thigh crisps up, this one takes the same garlicky goodness, adds some lemon, and shows how great the thigh — minus the skin and bone — can hold moisture through a high-heat trip to the grill.
- Slow Cooker Coq au Vin from Diethood. Another classic from the annals of French chicken dishes, but this time turned into an easy slow cooker, set-it-and-forget-it recipe.
- Dorie Greenspan’s Herb Butter Chicken. Of course, nothing is better than a simple roast chicken, and everybody has their own favorite. So why not look to one of our kitchen queens for her standard version?
