Sauce Or Gravy For Rotisserie Chicken Recipes

SAUCE OR GRAVY FOR ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Melt butter on stove. Add flour and make a roux. Add the chicken stock and bouillon. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add spices and cook until thickened.

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN WITH BLACK PEPPER VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a medium bowl. Combine the canola and olive oil, then slowly add to the mustard mixture and whisk until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the chicken. The sauce can be made 2 days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• For the chicken: Set up the rotisserie according to the manufacturer's directions. Combine the sugar, paprika, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Brush the chicken with the oil and rub with the spice mixture.
• Thread the chicken onto the rotisserie and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Remove from the rotisserie, brush liberally with some of the sauce, loosely tent with foil and let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the sauce on the side.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine thyme or rosemary, salt, pepper and paprika; rub on outside of chicken and in cavity. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Arrange bacon strips over breast portion of chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15 minutes. Add broth to pan; baste chicken with broth. Reduce heat to 350°. Bake, basting several times, until juices run clear, 1-1/4 hours. Remove chicken and keep warm. Place pan juices in saucepan; skim off excess fat. Combine water and flour; stir into juices. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1 minute. If desired, crumble bacon into gravy. Serve gravy with chicken.

ROAST CHICKEN PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Pour fat from drippings into a bowl and reserve. Whisk flour into remaining drippings left in pan; mixture will seem dry. Add 2 tablespoons reserved fat, or as needed, to the drippings mixture to combine with flour.
• Place pan of drippings mixture over low heat and toast flour until light brown and mixture gives off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle about 1/3 cup cold chicken stock at a time into pan drippings, whisking each addition of stock into mixture until thoroughly combined. Continue whisking, scraping any browned pan drippings from the bottom of the pan into gravy; bring to a simmer. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until gravy is thick and flour has combined with the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Adjust thickness of gravy; if too thick, whisk in a little more stock. If gravy is too thin, continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until reduced and thickened, about 10 more minutes. For the smoothest texture, strain gravy before serving.
