  • 1 tb Sweet butter, room temp.
  • 1 ts Salt
  • 1/2 ts Fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 c Pluse 2T crumbled Roquefort

cheese, cream, 5 tablespoons melted butter and the Cointreau. Brush chicken

mixture every 15 minutes, until juices run clear when inner thigh is
pierced and leg moves freely, about 1 hour 15 minutes. 3. Transfer chicken
to platter; remove trussing; keep warm. Heat remaining basting mixture in
small saucepan over medium heat; whisk in bits of beurre manie (to make
beurre manie: mix 1 T room temperature sweet butter with 1 T flour until
well combined) and simmer until sauce is as thick as you like it. Remove

NOTE: To evenly brown chicken, roast one third of the time with right side
up, and a third with left side up and a third with breast up.
