Mustard Roasted Chicken
on Potato-Fennel Fondue
Serves 4
- 1 whole free range, kosher or organic chicken
4 tablespoons Chinese mustard, rehydrated to form a paste
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for cooking
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 large yellow onions, 1 inch dice
1 pound medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes, washed and halved
3 large fennel, cored, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 bunch celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pre-heat the oven to 550 degrees, fan on if possible. Place a large, thick
roasting pan in oven to heat. Meanwhile, rinse and dry the chicken and
season well with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a bowl,
combine the mustard with 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and rub into
bird, inside and out. In a large bowl, toss the garlic, onion, potatoes,
fennel and celery with olive oil to coat and season with salt and pepper.
Pull out the pan and add the veggie mix, it should sizzle. Place the
chicken on top and roast until brown on all sides, rotating when
necessary, about 20-25 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and
continue roasting. You may have to tent the chicken with foil to avoid
burning. Roast an additional 25-35 minutes until juices run clear or it
reads 158-160 degrees (carry over cooking will bring it to 165) on a
thermometer. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Wine Notes:
2005 Julia's Vineyard Cambria Pinot Noir
100% Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley in CA. A lovely pinot noir with
flavors of bright red fruit at the top with an underlying earthiness.
Pairs well with the Mustard Roasted Chicken.
Mionetto Rose
Comprised of Raboso, Cabernet and Merlot grapes from the Veneto region, this
is a well-balanced, pleasantly fruity wine with a long, dry finish.
Very drinkable on it's own as an aperitif, but also works well with cured
meats, cheeses and freshwater fish like trout. Pairs nicely with the Potato
Mustard Crusted Trout and Gordon Hamersley's Shrimp and Potato Salad.
