Christmas Perfect roast chicken
A super-moist, tender and well-flavored roast chicken. Chicken is rubbed with Dijon mustard and roasted in a cast-iron frying pan with white wine. Serve as an alternative roast for Sunday lunch or Christmas dinner.
Ingredients
Serves: 4 - 6
- 125 ml dry white wine
- 2 lemons, cut in half
- 6 large cloves garlic
- 1 (1.8 kg) whole chicken
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cold butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste.

Method
Prep:15min › Cook:1hr15min › Extra time:15min resting › Ready in:1hr45min
- Preheat an oven to 220 C / Gas 7. Pour the wine into a 25cm or similar sized cast-iron frying pan; set aside.
- Place the lemon halves and garlic cloves into the cavity of the chicken. Slide half of the butter underneath the skin of each breast.
- Rub the chicken all over with Dijon mustard, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Place into the cast-iron frying pan.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 180 C / Gas 4 and continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 82 degrees C.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of foil and allow to rest in a warm area for 15 minutes before slicing.
