• 2 tsp Olive oil, Butter-melted, ground Pepper, Salt
• 1 tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Rosemary, 400 ml Water

Stuffing:

• 1½ tsp Rosemary, 1 tsp ground Black Pepper, 1 Egg
• 1 Onion-finely chopped, 25 gr Butter, 150 ml Milk
• 2 Garlic cloves-grind, ½ tsp Thyme, 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 200 gr Breadcrumbs, 2½ tbsp Mixed herbs, 1½ tsp Salt

Gravy:

• 2 tbsp Flour, 200 ml Chicken broth, 1 tsp Mixed Herbs
• 50 ml White Wine, 150 ml Drippings from roasting
• ½ tsp Salt, 25 gr Butter, 100 gr Mushrooms-sliced
• 1 tsp Black Peppercorns, 1 Celery rib

Directions

• Rub the chicken with lime juice, rosemary, garlic pwd, pepper, salt. Let it stand for 15 min.
• Stuffing: Heat the butter & oil over moderate heat. Sauté the onion & garlic. Remove from the heat, put in breadcrumbs, herbs, rosemary, egg, salt, pepper & milk (to make it moist). Knead to bind the mixture together.
• Fill up the stuffing into chicken cavity neatly. Close by sewing & tie the legs together with cotton string. Rub chicken with butter.
• Preheat oven to 220°C. Chop shallots. Place the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting tin/baking dish (place the dish under the rack). Pour 400 ml water & put shallots into the tin/dish. (This procedure will keep the chicken moist, collect the juices that drip down during cooking & can be used for making the gravy). Roast the chicken for 30 min. Turn the chicken over (breast side up); rub it with olive oil. Reduce oven temperature to 150°C & roast the chicken for 1½ hours, basting every 20 min with drippings. Turn the chicken over, roast 10 min.
• Gravy: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Put in the mushrooms & cook; stir until the mushroom begun to brown. Set aside. Mix well the chicken broth with the flour & then pour it into a saucepan over a moderate heat. Add in the celery stalk, drippings from roasting, mixed herbs, wine, salt & black pepper. Put in the mushrooms, stir until the gravy smooth & thicken. Remove celery stalk from the sauce. Serve the chicken with the gravy.
