Step preview
- After removing the chicken from the package, pat it dry with a paper towel
- Now, preheat your oven to 350F (175°C)
- Add butter, garlic clove, fresh parsley, dill, salt and black pepper to a clean saucepan
- Once the butter has melted, give the mixture a stir and remove from the heat
- Stuff two thirds of butter into chicken
- Rub the rest of butter onto chicken until coated
- Sprinkle with salt & pepper
- Place the chicken into an oven-safe skillet and place into the preheated oven
- Roast - 1 hr 30 min, 175°C
- Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the oven and move the chicken from the skillet onto a cutting board
- Allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes
- To make the pan jus aka gravy, heat the accumulated juices in the skillet on the stove top on medium-high heat
- Once it is at a simmer, add the apple cider vinegar, chicken stock and water
- Using a whisk, gently scrape any bits from the bottom of the skillet and mix the gravy
- Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes
- Then add the dijon mustard and more stock or water
- Let is simmer for another 10-15 minutes until it has reduced and thickened
- After the chicken had some time to rest, grab a sharp chef's knife and cut the chicken into portions. Start by cutting the legs and wings off, then the breasts and any other meat that is still attached
- Plate yourself some chicken, vegetables and spoon over the yummy pan jus!
