2. Place the roasting tin on the stove top over medium heat. Add the butter and flour. As the butter melts, stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the mixture turns the colour of peanut butter, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 950 ml of the reserved juices (but not the fat) and the wine.

4. Lower the heat and simmer the gravy for a few minutes or until it reaches the consistency that you like. If the gravy becomes too thick, add more chicken stock a little at a time and simmer until it reaches the right consistency. Turn off the heat. Add the parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
