Roast Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (about 1.5kg), butterflied
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 cup crème fraîche
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then sprinkle with minced garlic and thyme.
2. Place the chicken on a baking tray and roast for about 45–50 minutes until the skin is golden and the meat is cooked through.
3. While the chicken is roasting, combine the chicken stock, crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly to form a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before carving.
