Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the whole chicken dry and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, add the chicken, and brown it for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped brown mushrooms, minced shallots, diced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring well for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in 1 cup of dry white wine.
  5. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of chicken stock, cooking until the sauce thickens—about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Place baby potatoes in the sauce, coat well, nestle the chicken on top, and roast for 40-45 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from oven, stir in ½ cup of cream, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
