40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken

40 CLOVES OF GARLIC CHICKEN
Carrabbas Copycat Recipe

Serves 6-8

40 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
1 large, chicken, cut into pieces

1/2 cup white wine or apple juice or chicken stock
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
fresh sage, chopped finely (or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage)
fresh parsley, chopped finely
4 small bay leaves
1 teaspoon herb salt & some freshly ground pepper


Scatter garlic cloves over the bottom of a casserole dish. You can use a flat dish if you want more crispy skin, or a deep dish if you want softer, juicier chicken. Place chicken pieces over the garlic, skin side up. Sprinkle the chicken with wine, juice or stock, oil, seasonings and herbs. Cover the dish tightly with foil (and a lid if it has one) so no steam can escape. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Remove lid and foil, and return to the oven to brown for another 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

Notes:  Carrabbas serves this dish with roasted potatoes so you may add large chunks of red potatoes to the pan of chicken while it bakes.
