Ingredients:

3 lb whole chicken
1360g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1 tbsp onion
10g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1.50 cups chicken gravy
300g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Season the inside and outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Roast the Chicken:
- Put the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured at the thickest part of the thigh.
- Baste the chicken occasionally with its own juices to keep it moist.
4. Prepare the Mushroom Gravy:
- While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the flour is fully incorporated.
- Gradually pour in the chicken gravy, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the gravy warm until the chicken is ready.
5. Finish and Serve:
- Once the chicken is fully roasted, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Carve the chicken into serving pieces and arrange them on a platter.
- Pour the mushroom gravy over the chicken or serve it on the side as desired.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
6. Enjoy:
Serve your roast chicken with mushroom gravy alongside your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy your meal!

Tips:

- Make sure your chicken is at room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking.

- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to help the skin get nice and crispy.

- You can use a cast-iron skillet or a roasting pan for this recipe.

- To intensify the flavors, consider marinating the chicken with herbs and garlic for a few hours before cooking.

- When making the mushroom gravy, cook the mushrooms until they're nicely browned to bring out their umami flavor.

- If the gravy is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of chicken broth or water.

- Let the chicken rest for at least 10-15 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to redistribute.
