Roasting a chicken...

[Mommy2Austin]

I'm roasting a chicken what do I do with the pan drippings?

Make Gravy--Pour the fat into a saucepan and whisk in about 1/2 cup of flour (whole wheat, other whole grain works fine, I often use whole rye flour). Heat over medium heat until the flour is lightly browned. While you're doing that, pour about 3 cups boiling water or stock into the chicken pan and scrape up all the brown bits. Pour this liquid into the flour, whisk, and simmer until thickened. Add salt.

I just add it all back into my stock if I'm not serving gravy with dinner. Makes a very rich stock. Yummy:

i sometimes freeze it and add it to soups (this was before i started making bone broth-- i guess it's more for the flavor.)

Roast potatoes with the chicken in the last 20 minutes. Cut up potatoes, onions, and carrots, toss with olive oil and salt and pepper, and put in the pan below the chicken for the last 20 minutes. When the chicken is done, remove it from the pan, stir the potatoes with all the chicken juices and then put under the broiler for a few minutes to brown. Yummmm.
