Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Spread out the onion wedges, garlic, chicken and 3 sprigs of thyme in a large roasting dish. Drizzle with the oil and season. Scatter over the Aunt Bessie Roasties and Honey Glazed Parsnips and roast for 20 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and add the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins to soften. Finely chop the remaining thyme sprigs and add to the pan with the sugar. Cook for 5 mins until golden brown.
  3. Stir the flour into the onions, then add the stock gradually, stirring continuously to get rid of any lumps. Once all the stock is added and the gravy is smooth, turn the heat down and simmer gently until thickened to your liking. Keep warm.
  4. Stir the broccoli into the roasting dish, then return to the oven for 10 mins.
  5. Stir the dish again, then top with the Aunt Bessie’s Golden Yorkshires. Cook for 5 mins or until the Yorkshires are crisp. Serve with the onion gravy.

Little help

Beef stock adds a rich flavour to the gravy, but you can use chicken stock instead, if you like.
