Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Ingredients:

1. 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2. 40 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
4. 1/2 cup white wine
5. 1/2 cup chicken stock
6. Fresh sprigs of thyme
7. Salt and pepper to taste

Step:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C. Season the chicken in a roasting pan with salt and pepper. Dots of garlic cloves.
2. Toss in a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
3. Pour into the pan the wine as well as the chicken stock. Roast for 1 1/2 hours occasionally basting. Serve with crusty bread spread to smush the soft garlic on.

Tip: This dish (recipe) is a garlic lover’s dream — packed with flavor but surprisingly mild because it’s roasted so slowly.
