Chicken With 40 Cloves Of Garlic Recipe

	Rivet / All my dishes 1 year ago If you like garlic, this one's for you! If you don't you will still be surprised how mild it is and the garlic becomes sweet once it is cooked, losing its pungency. This dish tastes like you spent a fortune and all day cooking. This is my version of an old french recipe.... More Prep:30m Cook:120m Servings:4	Rivet

Ingredients

1 Whole Chicken about 4-6 lbs

5 or 6 sprigs fresh Thyme

4 sprigs fresh Rosemary

2 or 3 Bay Leaves

1 TBSP fresh chopped Basil

40 Cloves Garlic (do not peel)

6 or so TBSP olive oil

3 TBSP Water

Coarse ground black pepper and salt (kosher) to taste

Directions

Rinse bird under cool water and pat dry

In a cast iron dutch oven, heat about 4 or 5 TBSP olive oil

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

Put half the thyme, rosemary and bay leaves inside birds cavity

Over MED/HI to HI heat quickly brown the bird on all sides as best as you can

Remove from heat, place 2 or 3 garlic cloves inside cavity.

Spoon drippings over bird

Arrange remaining Thyme, Rosemary, Garlic and bay leaf around bird

Pour about 2 TBSP olive oil over bird

Sprinkle Salt, Pepper and Basil over bird

Put 3 TBSP water around bird

Cover tightly and place in oven

Bake about 2 hours, do not open lid to peek during this time

To serve, put it on platter with garlics arranged around it and have crusty bread to squeeze cooked garlic cloves onto.

This meal goes very well with a hearty red wine. My choice is a Spanish Tempranillo.

I've got a similar recipe and it is really good. It's a great way to introduce someone to garlic also. I also like to take the crusty bread and dip it in the oil, then add the garlic to bread and spread like butter.
