Chicken jus with thyme

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 3 tbsp peanut oil
• 1 kg chicken wings, roughly chopped

• 25 g thyme, fresh
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 55 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Heat the oil in a pan and sear the chicken wings until lightly browned. Drain the oil and rendered fat, then add the carrots and onions and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Then add all the remaining ingredients and simmer gently for 45 minutes, carefully skimming off any foam. Strain through a sieve and reduce further to taste. This sauce goes well with roasted poultry, but also with fresh pasta.
