Perfecting Roast Chicken, the French Way

  • 1 large chicken, about 4 lbs.
  • 2 whole garlic heads
  • 1 bunch rosemary
  • 1 bunch thyme
  • 3 qts. chicken stock
  • Sea salt and coarsely ground pepper
  • 4 oz. butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. white-wine vinegar
  • subheading: Equipment:
  • A medium-sized pot, higher than it is wide-it should be big enough to submerge the bird but not so big that you need vast quantities of liquid to cover it
  • A large, slotted spoon or kitchen spider (not tongs-you don’t want to tear the skin when removing the bird)
  • String, for trussing (optional)
  • An instant-read thermometer
  • A basting brush
  • A roasting tray
