Roast Chicken With Creamy Leek And Bacon Sauce
  1. Begin by chopping the leek and washing it thoroughly. Sauté the leek in a pan with some butter and a pinch of salt.

  2. Next, pour in some white wine and sprinkle in the flour. Crumble the chicken stock cube into the mixture, add minced garlic, and pour in water.

  3. Carefully place the whole chicken into the pan, ensuring you don't get your hands dirty.

  4. Drape the chicken with slices of smoked bacon and transfer the pan to the oven.

  5. Halfway through the cooking time, take out the bacon, chop it into pieces, and stir it into the liquid surrounding the chicken.

  6. Incorporate the bacon into the sauce and mix in some double cream. Toss everything together before returning the pan to the oven to finish cooking.

  7. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and drain the juices into the sauce.

  8. Add a bit more double cream to the sauce, stir it well, and serve it over a generous portion of mashed potatoes.
