Description

To make a bouquet garni, you need to tie together bunches of fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and wrap them with 1 bay leaf.

Ingredients

Poultry - 1 piece
Bouquet Garni - 1 bunch
Butter - 1.8 oz
Garlic - 40 cloves
Dry White Wine - 3 fl oz
Olive Oil - 2 spoons
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the bouquet garni inside the chicken. Spread butter over the skin and season to taste. Place the chicken in a baking dish along with unpeeled garlic cloves and a second bouquet garni. Roast for one and a half hours in an oven preheated to 356°F, basting frequently with the juices that accumulate.

Step 2

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven along with half of the garlic, wrap it in foil, and place it in a warm spot.

Step 3

Add 100 ml of water and wine to the chicken dish. Place it on the stove and bring to a boil. Scrape the bits from the bottom of the dish and puree the garlic. Boil for 5 minutes, then strain through a sieve into a clean pot. Add olive oil and herbs, and season with spices to taste.
