    Roast, basting every ten minutes, for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken on its back.
    Add carrots, onions, garlic, parsley , thyme and bay leaf. Continue roasting for 10 more minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the breast registers 170 degrees.

    Strain the vegetables and fat in a bowl. Discard fat and herbs. Return vegetables to the pan.
    Add wine and stock to roasting pan. Heat to deglaze and simmer 5 minutes.
