Danish pot-roast chicken (Gammeldags kylling)

Pot roast chicken is one of the classic Danish dishes that are typically enjoyed as home-cooked meals. A whole chicken is seared and then slowly braised in a broth, usually alongside onions, parsley, and peppercorns. When thoroughly cooked, the braising liquid is reduced and optionally thickened with flour roux or cream.

Gammeldags kylling, translated as old-fashioned chicken, is usually served with roasted potatoes, cucumber salad, and the accompanying sauce.
