Juicy Roast Chicken - Real Recipes from Mums

This is so easy to make and the results are delicious! I sometimes use a can of Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup – equally yummy! If you don't want to use wine, chicken stock would be also fine.

Ingredients (serves 6)

1½ kg Ingham Chicken thighs
50g Unsalted butter
400g can of Cream of Chicken Soup
½ cup Dry white wine

Method

Trim any fat from chicken pieces. Put into a shallow baking dish, dot with butter. Roast uncovered in a moderately hot (190ºC) oven for ½ hour.
Pour over the soup and wine and bake uncovered for a further ¾ to 1 hour. The chicken will take on a beautiful golden colour and the texture will be tender and juicy.
Remove chicken to a serving dish. Pour chicken gravy formed in the baking dish into a jug. Skim away any excess fat. Serve with your choice of vegetables and enjoy!

Notes

This is my late mother's recipe. It is delicious and the soup makes a lovely gravy. It is very filling and goes great with beans, carrots and new potatoes.
