For a special touch, try making this easy gravy. Skim fat from pan juices and strain (if desired) into small saucepan. Whisk together 1/4 cup (60 mL) water and 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) flour in small bowl; add to pan juices and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
TIP: To make with chicken parts, toss shallots and potatoes with the 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) margarine and arrange in large roasting pan. Place 5-1/2-lbs (2.5 kg) chicken parts on top of vegetables and spoon bouillon mixture from above recipe over chicken. Roast at 375°F (190° C) until chicken is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes, basting once or twice halfway through.
** If roasting a 2-1/2 to 3 lbs. (1.25 kg to 1.5 kg) chicken, use 3 Tbsp. (45mL) margarine, 1 Knorr® Chicken Bouillon Cube, 1-1/2 Tbsp. (22mL) lemon juice or one small lemon, 1 lb. (450g) new potatoes and 3 medium shallots. Roast as directed above until chicken is thoroughly cooked and potatoes and shallots are tender, about 1 hr. 20 minutes.
