CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

 

HEAT 3 T. OIL IN LARGE POT (I USED CAST IRON) AND BROWN ONE CUT-UP CHICKEN ON BOTH SIDES IN BATCHES.  SEASON GENEROUSLY WITH SALT AND PEPPER AND REMOVE TO A 9X13 BAKING DISH.  

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350.  

ONCE CHICKEN IS BROWNED AND IN DISH, ADD 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC TO THE POT AND COOK ABOUT 5 MINS UNTIL BROWNED IN SOME SPOTS.

ADD TO THE POT:
1/2C. WHITE WINE AND SCRAPE BOTTOM OF THE POT.

ADD:
3/4C. CHICKEN BROTH AND COOK JUST A FEW MINUTES.  ADD SALT & PEPPER FOR TASTE!  

REMOVE 10 GARLIC CLOVES AND PLACE THEM IN THE BAKING DISH.  MASH THE REST OF THE CLOVES INTO THE BROTH/WINE MIXTURE.  POUR THIS ALL OVER THE CHICKEN. ADD SOME THYME AND/OR ROSEMARY AND ROAST FOR 30-45 MINUTES.
