I am not sure why the link isn't working now because I just looked at it yesterday. In fact I made it all yesterday and the pot pie today.
family pleaser chicken updates to recipe

How to make gravy:
Take the chicken out of the oven and drain off the juice. Cover chicken with foil to rest. Put all the liquid in a pan and heat to simmer. Since this recipe already was made with chicken broth plus it had the chicken juices (and I put whole unpeeled garlic cloves in the chicken too and onion and herbs) it is very flavorful. Also it has no fat to skim off since it had no skin. If it had skin and was a normal roasted chicken, pour the juices into a glass measuring cup or plastic bag and stick in fridge for 10 minutes, pour the liquid into the pan but not the fat that rises to the top.
So anyway now you have nonfatty liquid in the pan. Mix 1.5Tablespoons cornstarch in a cup with a couple tablespoons cold liquid such as more broth or wine and a 2t soy sauce and stir. Add this 'slurry' to the pan and stir until it boils and thickens. If the liquid was right out of the pan this is really quick but if it was chilled to defat it takes longer to make it boil. If you like garlic put whole unpeeled cloves in with the chicken. Remove when the chicken is done and then peel cloves and add a couple to the gravy and smash them up. Bring to boil and boil one minute. Season with pepper if desired. Do not salt without tasting. Soy sauce is better than salt since it will darken the gravy. This is the easy way to make gravy but there are other ways and when I make a big turkey feast I do it differently. In fact I think I posted that...
