Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Place chicken in a roasting pan and drizzle with oil. Roast for 1 hour 10 mins or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

    Meanwhile, place the shallot, garlic and champagne or wine in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins or until shallot is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in the orange rind and cream. Return to medium heat and simmer, uncovered, for 6 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly. Combine the cornflour with 1 tsp of water in a small bowl. Add to the cream mixture and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1-2 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season. Add chives. Stir to combine. Sprinkle with orange zest. Serve with the chicken.
