Perfect Roast Chicken & Gravy

This is the perfect roast chicken & gravy. Use this as a guide rather than gospel. The steps are here to show you how to take your chicken to the next level, but the ingredients you choose to use in your trivet or compound butter should be up to you.

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Start with the chicken. You can brine, but I don’t like the faff. Instead, salt it aggressively inside and out, using about double what you’d instinctively do. This isn’t about a salty skin, it’s about time. The chicken goes into the fridge uncovered so the salt has time to penetrate the meat, seasoning it all the way through and not just on the surface.
