40 Clove Garlic Chicken
Slow cooked chicken with roasted garlic cloves.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 3 to 4 lb chicken cut into 8 pieces
- 40 cloves peeled garlic
- 10 sprigs thyme I have lemon thyme growing in my garden and usually use that for this recipe
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Coat the bottom of a large dutch oven set over medium high heat with olive oil ( approximately two tablespoons ).
- Pat the chicken pieces dry, and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the them. Place each piece skin-side down in the hot oil in the dutch oven.
- Once the skin-side of the chicken pieces are brown and crispy, remove the dutch oven from heat. Place the garlic cloves and thyme on top of the chicken. It's fine if not everything is directly on top of chicken pieces. Some of it in inevitably going to fall onto the pan.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over everything, place the lid on the dutch oven, and bake at 350°F for 1 ½ hours.
