  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 ml white wine (Muscateller)
  • 12 fresh garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat the oven to 180°C with fan and top heat.

    Wash and pat dry the Perlhuhn. Season inside and out with salt and pepper, then sear all sides in hot oil in a roasting pan. Pour in the wine. Peel the garlic cloves and distribute them around the bird. First place it breast-side down on the thyme sprigs and roast for about 30 minutes. Flip, lightly season again, and roast another ~30 minutes. If needed, add more white wine. Remove the Perlhuhn from the pan and let rest briefly. Remove the thyme sprigs from the sauce and enrich with crème fraîche. Season to taste.
