Cook's Notes:
Roast under as high a temperature as your oven will go but do not broil.
Feel free to substitute stock for broth. If you cannot get 1/2 cup of pan drippings, chicken broth may be substituted.
To make your own Italian seasoning, just crush 3 tablespoons dried oregano, 3 tablespoons dried basil, and 2 tablespoons dried parsley between your palms and combine with 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon marjoram, 1 teaspoon sage, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
