Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Rub chosen herbs underneath the skin.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken skin-side down and brown for 5-7 minutes until golden, then flip and brown the other side. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same pot, if needed, add more butter, and sauté the mushrooms, shallots, celery, and garlic for 5-7 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir for about a minute. Deglaze with wine, scraping the bottom, then gradually add chicken stock and let the sauce thicken for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add baby potatoes to the sauce, then arrange browned chicken on top. Cover with a lid and roast for 40-45 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Once roasted, remove the pot and stir in cream. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
