Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 lbs Whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Remove any giblets from the cavity.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Rub the outside and inside of the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over it.
Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 70-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
While the chicken is resting, make the gravy. Pour the pan drippings into a medium saucepan, adding chicken broth to make about 2 cups of liquid.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then whisk in the heavy cream.
Gradually sprinkle the xanthan gum over the simmering liquid while whisking continuously until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the butter to finish the gravy, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Carve the chicken and serve it with the keto gravy on the side.
