Directions
Oven-Roasted Chicken With Forty Garlic Cloves, Yes that’s right – 40 garlic cloves, about four heads of garlic! Try to use large, plump fresh heads Best-ever chicken guaranteed! After two hours of slow roasting , the chicken is fragrant and melt-in-the-mouth tender, and the roasted cloves of garlic are a sublime spread on toasted crusty bread This aromatic provencale dish cooks the garlics to a soft puree that is sweet, nutty and socially acceptable the morning after My family have been enjoying this for years, and they think I put a lot of work into it But instead for two hours you can put your feet up!, Made this recipe as written, except seasoned with a mixed blend of herbs for chicken rather than the salt & pepper Used a roasting pan covered tightly with several layers of foil as I have nothing with a lid Result was a tender juicy chicken & the garlic was delicious! Will make this again & again as it was enjoyed by all! Thanks for sharing your recipe
