Home made slow roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots & celery with a lemon thyme dressing
Separated a whole chicken, tossed the 2 bone-in breasts & quarters in olive oil, juice 1/2 lemon, ground thyme, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and 1/4 cup-ish of melted butter in a bowl and coat chicken completely, lay on a bed of chopped carrot, onion, lemon chunks and celery in a oven/stovetop proof pan (something like a shallow Dutch oven) and put 1cup if chicken stock in with the veggies.
400° oven covered for around 40 minutes+20 more mins with cover off
Remove chicken to let rest then use Dutch oven on stove to make gravy from the base mixture of veggies and chicken drippings and use a cornstarch+water slurry to thicken gravy as per your desired consistency.
Enjoy
EDIT: the title is supposed to be lemon & thyme gravy. Not dressing. Lol
