Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mash the butter with one-third of the thyme leaves, the mashed garlic and the juice of half a lemon. Mix everything together with some seasoning and set aside.
- Use your hand to loosen the chicken skin away from the breast, then push most of the butter mix into the gap. Rub the rest of the butter all over the outside of the chicken, then stuff the cavity with the lemon halves, remaining thyme leaves and stalks, and the garlic.
- Scatter the chopped carrot, onion and bay leaves over the base of a small roasting tin. Sit the chicken on top, breast-side up, and roast on the middle shelf for 1 hr 30 mins, basting with the buttery juices after about 40 mins. When the chicken is dark golden, crispy-skinned and the juices run clear, remove from the oven and leave in the tin for 5 mins. Use a pair of tongs to pull the lemons, garlic and thyme out of the cavity and into the tin. Lift the chicken up, letting any juices dribble into the tin, and transfer the chicken to a serving platter to rest for at least another 15 mins.
- To make the gravy, squeeze the juice out of the cooked lemon halves and discard the skins. Place the tin on a low heat, stir in flour and sizzle until light brown. Gradually pour in the stock and cook for a few mins. If you like a darker gravy, add a splash of soy sauce to the tin. Strain the gravy into a jug and serve with the chicken.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND THYME
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry.
- In a small bowl, make a compound butter by combining the softened butter, minced thyme, garlic cloves, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Season the cavity of the chicken generously with salt, and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the lemon quarters, a handful of fresh thyme leaves, and the quartered onion. Place the carrot, celery and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan and place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Cross the legs and tie with kitchen twine.
- Gently lift the skin away from the chicken and spread 2 tablespoons of the softened butter mixture underneath the skin, distributing it evenly. Spread the remaining butter over the entire surface of the chicken and season generously with salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and roast the chicken until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a cutting board to rest for about 15 minutes. Tent the chicken with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Pour the pan juices into a large glass measuring cup. Spoon the fat off the top. Add the chicken broth to the roasting pan and place over high heat. Bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Return the pan juices to the pan. Whisk the flour into the broth mixture and bring to a boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt, and pepper. Serve alongside the roast chicken.
- Roasted Chicken Variations:
- Honey-Glazed Chicken: Season the butter with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons honey.
- Soy-Ginger Chicken: Season the butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce.

Steps:
- Remove breasts from chickens, skin on, and include the first joint of the wing. (The legs will not be used.) Using a cleaver or heavy knife, hack the remaining carcasses into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium-heat until slightly brown. Add the pieces of chicken carcasses and cook, stirring, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Pour off all the fat. Lower heat to medium and add the celery, 1/2 cup of the onions, all the cubed carrots and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
- Add the wine. Then add the chicken broth, 1 cup water, bay leaf and 2 sprigs thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, occasionally skimming fat from the top. Strain. You should have about 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth. Set aside. (This broth can be made in advance and refrigerated.)
- In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and add the remaining 1/2 cup of onions and the sugar. Cook the onions, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add carrot rounds and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until al dente. Remove from heat and set aside, with cooking liquid.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts. In a large, ovenproof skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the chicken breasts, skin side down. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until well browned. Flip the chicken. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 6 minutes more. Remove from heat and place in oven for about 6 more minutes, or until done. Remove the breasts from the skillet and keep warm.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the chicken pan juices and stir.
- In a small mixing bowl, make the lemon butter by combining 4 tablespoons of soft butter, lemon juice, leaves from 1 sprig thyme ( 1/2 teaspoon dried), lemon zest, salt and white pepper.
- Gently remove the carrot rounds and set aside, keeping them warm. Stir lemon butter into the cooking liquid from the carrots. Keep warm.
- Place the corn oil in a large pot. Heat to 340 degrees, or until it is just beginning to smoke. Place a handful of carrot threads in the hot oil. Cook for about 30 to 40 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towels. When the carrots are cool enough to handle, mold into a loose ball. Repeat with the rest of the carrots for a total of four balls.
- Divide the carrot rounds into the middle of 4 large warmed plates. Slice each chicken breast into 3 pieces, on a slight angle, and arrange the slices over the carrot rounds. The wing joint should be facing tip up. Ladle some of the chicken-pan juices over the chicken, and then some of the lemon-butter sauce. Place a deep-fried carrot ball on top of the chicken. Garnish all with parsley leaves and serve.

Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
- Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut backbone from chicken using kitchen shears and save backbone for another use. Flip chicken, breast-side up, and forcefully press chicken down to flatten; season generously with salt.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; pan-fry chicken, skin-side down, until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, skin-side up.
- Cook and stir onion in oil in the same skillet until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking until most of the beer is reduced, 2 to 4 minutes more. Stir chicken broth, carrots, lemon, rosemary, and thyme into beer mixture. Arrange chicken, skin-side up, over vegetables.
- Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large platter and let rest, uncovered.
- Bring remaining broth and juices in the skillet to a boil and cook until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
- Slice chicken and serve with sauce.
