Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 deg F.
  2. Combine onions, bell peppers, celery, parsley, 1/2 tsp thyme, and 5 garlic cloves and place in the cavity of the chicken. (If you prefer, use 1 cup frozen seasoning mix instead of the first four ingredients).
  3. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  4. Sprinkle chicken with pepper, salt and remaining 1/2 tsp thyme and coat with cooking spray; surround with the remaining garlic cloves.
  5. Tie ends of legs together with twine and tuck wing tips under the chicken.
  6. Roast for 40 minutes.
  7. Increase the oven temperature to 450 deg and bake an additional 20 minutes or until a thermometer registers 170 deg. Transfer chicken to a platter.
  8. Remove the garlic cloves from the roasting pan and reserve five of them;scatter the remainder around the chicken, cover the platter with foil and allow the chicken to rest.
  9. Prepare sauce: place the reserved cloves, broth, white wine and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  10. While the broth is simmering, combine flour and 3 tbl water in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth.
  11. Stir the slurry into the broth mixture and simmer 5 minutes or until thick, whisking often.
  12. Remove and discard garlic from the sauce.
  13. Remove and discard skin from the chicken (or don't, if you prefer!); carve chicken; garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
  14. Serve chicken with garlic cloves and sauce.
