1 6- to 7-pound roasting chicken
8 fresh thyme sprigs
6 garlic cloves
12 slices black truffle or 2 teaspoons black truffle sauce*

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into ‟-inch pieces

3 thick bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

Preparation

  1. Chicken with Truffles, Wild Mushrooms and Potatoes

    Step 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken wings; brown well, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add shallots; saut
 4 minutes. Add wine; bring to boil. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced to 2 cups, about 25 minutes. Strain sauce into medium saucepan. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle roasting chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Place thyme and garlic in cavity. Run fingers between skin and meat on breast to loosen. Arrange truffle slices under skin or spread truffle sauce under skin. Rub 1 teaspoon truffle oil over skin. Place chicken in roasting pan.

Roast chicken until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced, stirring vegetables occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Mix peas into vegetable mixture; stir to heat through.
