This recipe is not only flavorful but surprisingly easy to prepare, making it perfect for both special occasions and everyday dinners.

Ingredients:

1 lemon
110g
3 lb whole chicken
1360g
2 bay leafs
1.20g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1.50 cups chicken gravy
300g
1 cup white wine
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Ensure the cavity is cleaned out.
- Season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Combine the Flavors:
- Cut the lemon in half and place one half inside the cavity of the chicken along with the garlic cloves and bay leaves. Reserve the other half for later.
- Rub the outside of the chicken with olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the rosemary over the chicken, pressing lightly so that it sticks to the oiled surface.
- Season the outside of the chicken with additional salt and pepper.
3. Prepare to Roast:
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up.
- Pour the chicken gravy and white wine into the pan around the chicken.
4. Roast the Chicken:
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Make sure to baste the chicken with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
5. Final Touch:
- About 15 minutes before the chicken finishes cooking, squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken and continue to roast until done.
6. Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the chicken with the pan juices spooned over the top, and enjoy your delicious Chicken with 40 garlic cloves!

Tips:

- Use Fresh Garlic: Make sure to use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. Pre-peeled garlic often lacks the intense aroma and taste that fresh garlic provides.

- Properly Season the Chicken: Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper inside and out to enhance the taste of the meat and ensure a flavorful dish.

- Baste Regularly: Baste the chicken with its own juices or the chicken gravy every 20-30 minutes during roasting to keep the meat moist and enhance its flavor.

- Cover with Foil If Necessary: If the chicken or garlic starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil to prevent burning while the chicken finishes cooking.

- Let It Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for about 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and delicious.

Chicken with 40 Garlic Cloves is a show-stopping dish that will take your dinner table to the next level. The combination of tender chicken, roasted garlic, and savory gravy makes for an unforgettable meal. Serve it with a side of vegetables and some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, and you'll have a feast that will leave everyone asking for seconds.
