Gravy
Transfer chicken and vegetables to platter and let rest 10 minutes while you make gravy. Pour fat and juices from pan into small bowl or fat separator. Place pan directly on burner over medium-high heat. Whisk about 2 tablespoons of fat back into pan. Add flour and whisk about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken stock, white wine and any juices from roast chicken. Bring to boil, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cook until gravy has thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
