Roast in the preheated oven for 1hr 30min or until the chicken is cooked.
(Test by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh. The juices should run clear.) Remove chicken brick from oven.
For the sauce-.
Pour off cooking liquor and reserve in a bowl.
Keep chicken and vegetables hot, covered, in the oven, while preparing the sauce.
