-
Sprinkle chickens inside and out with salt and cracked black pepper.
-
Divide thyme sprigs and garlic cloves and stuff into cavities.
-
Run fingers between skin and meat on breast to loosen being careful not to tear the skin. Arrange truffle slices under skin and rub olive oil over skin.
-
Place chicken in roasting pan and transfer to 425°F (225ºC) preheated oven set on middle rack. Roast chickens until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced, about 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted between the breast and thigh registers 180°F (82°C).
-
Transfer chickens to a platter, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for approximately 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile prepare sauce; place roasting pan over medium-high heat and add white wine to deglaze pan, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
-
When the wine has evaporated, stir in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the pan sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Stir in the truffle oil and season with salt and pepper. Carve the chicken and serve with the pan sauce.
