  2. Cover the roasting pan, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or 20 minutes per pound.

  3. Strain liquid from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in heated cream, and cracked peppercorns. Cook on medium-low heat for 5 minutes until thick, but do not boil. Carve chicken, and serve with sauce.

Recipe Note

A whole chicken is roasted, and served with a creamy peppercorn sauce. Use the bottom of a heavy skillet to crack whole peppercorns, or you may find cracked ones at the supermarket.
