Description
A whole chicken is flat roasted and smothered in gravy
Ingredients
- - 1 whole chicken ( 3-4lbs)
- - Sharp Kitchen Shears
- - 1 cup of water mixed with salt
- - 2 tbs unsalted butter
- - salt & pepper
- - 1 cup of skim milk
- - 2 tbs whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 390 degrees.
- Place the bird on a cutting board.
- Remove the back bone by using very sharp kitchen shears and discard or save for later use in a stock.
- Lay the bird flat ( insides down) in a large oven proof skillet. And press very hard on the breast bone to break it so it lies completely flat.
- Pour the water/salt mixture in the skillet.
- Grind fresh black pepper liberally all over the chicken and put the unsalted butter on top of the bird.
- Cover the skillet with lid and roast in oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes has gone by, flip the bird ( no pun intended ;)) carefully over and place lid back on for an additional 30 minutes in the oven until chicken is thoroughly cooked through.
- Place the chicken aside on a hot plate.
- In the same skillet with the drippings, heat skillet to medium heat.
- Add the flour and milk and stir until smooth and boiling. Serve in gravy boat.
- Enjoy!
