Cooking

Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck the wings under the chicken and place a heavy oven-safe pan or a brick wrapped in foil on top of the chicken to weigh it down. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Make the Jus
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the jus. In a saucepan, combine white wine and chicken stock over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce until it is slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and butter until melted and smooth.

Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carve the chicken, serve it with the lemon herb jus drizzled over the top.
