Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
1 4 1/2-pound chicken, rinsed, patted dry
12 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Stir 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour and 3 teaspoons chili powder in small bowl to blend. Rub butter mixture all over chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chicken in small roasting pan; scatter garlic around chicken in pan.

Add sage, garlic and remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons chili powder. Boil until reduced to 1 cup, whisking occasionally, about 8 minutes. Season gravy to taste with salt and pepper.
