Ingredients
- 5 pound whole chicken
- ¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature (½ stick)
- ¼ cup olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Gravy
- Pan drippings from your chicken
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pat the chicken dry. Tie the legs together with butcher's twine.
- In a medium bowl, mix the butter, 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper together.
- Loosen the skin on the breast of the chicken. Spread the mixture under the chicken breast skin and all over the chicken.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the bottom of a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Place the chicken in the skillet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Baste 2-3 times while cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Leave the pan drippings in the skillet.
- Place the pan on medium heat. Whisk in the flour until combined. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until browned.
- While whisking, pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with your roast chicken and enjoy.
Notes
- Storage: Store Thanksgiving chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
