1 medium chicken 1.5kg

Fresh thyme leaves
200 ml white w**e
Salt and pepper
Olive oil and butter for the skin
Stuff your bird with half a lemon an onion some parsley and thyme.
200ml double cream for the sauce.
Cook the bird in the oven for the time on the packet mine was 1 hour 40 mins. Take out of the pan cover and rest it. Take out potatoes too, keep warm and make your sauce. Add 200ml of cream and stir into the sauce and leeks and then pour over the chicken or serve it on the side. And check for seasoning.
