List of Ingredients




1 (4 pound) whole chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup dry vermouth
4 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup whipping cream, heated until steaming
1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns

Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Remove giblets from chicken, and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place chicken into a roasting pan with vermouth, shallots and garlic.

Cover the roasting pan, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or 20 minutes per pound.

Strain liquid from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup.

Stir in heated cream, and cracked peppercorns. Cook on medium-low heat for 5 minutes until thick, but do not boil.

Carve chicken, and serve with sauce.
