Ingredients

Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic

3 heads of garlic unpeeled

1 whole chicken, giblets removed - washed and patted dry

2-tbspn butter at room temperature

coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 springs fresh thyme

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

Clean garlic and set aside.

(I lay each clove out and smash it with the large flat side of my knife and the peel comes right off.)

Place the chicken in a large black iron skillet (or roasting pan).

Rub all over with some of the butter and season with salt and pepper.

Add thyme and three or four garlic cloves to the cavity of the bird. Put all remaining thyme and garlic and butter around the chicken in the iron skillet.

Roast at the preheated temperature for 1 hour and twenty minutes adding another tbspn of butter each 20 minutes and basting with it as it melts into the skillet.

Remove when juices run clear and let set 10 minutes before carving.
