You can’t go wrong with le poulet rôti aux pommes de terre et aux légumes / roast chicken with potatoes and vegetables. I put some duck fat in the bottom of a roasting pan, then added potatoes (small), an onion (sliced into rings), carrots / celery (sliced), and peeled garlic cloves. I poured in some water and mixed well. On top of this bed of vegetables, I placed my lovely farm chicken, stuffed with cèpes (dried and reconstituted in a little water) and more garlic cloves. I coated the bird with duck fat and seasoned well with salt and pepper. I roasted for 90 minutes. I carved the chicken into portions and served the pan juices as gravy.
