Pot-roasted chicken with 40 cloves of garlic is a classic, flavorful dish that combines the rich taste of chicken with the aromatic and slightly sweet flavor of roasted garlic. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a gathering with friends, offering a comforting and savory meal that is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the garlic cloves.
- Slice the lemon in half.
- Place half of the garlic cloves, the lemon halves, fresh thyme, and bay leaves inside the chicken cavity.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken in the pot, browning it on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
7. Adding Aromatics:
- Add the remaining garlic cloves around the chicken in the pot.
- Pour in the white wine and chicken gravy, allowing the liquid to come to a simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Place the pot in the preheated oven and roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest in the pot for about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
- You can either serve the garlic cloves whole as a side or mash them into the juices to create a rich, flavorful sauce to drizzle over the chicken.
- Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the garlic and sauce alongside your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken is properly cleaned and patted dry before seasoning and roasting. This helps achieve a crispy, golden skin.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can increase the number of garlic cloves used.
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and thyme for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
- Use a covered pot or a Dutch oven to keep the chicken moist and to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Allow the cooked chicken to rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This helps the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
This pot-roasted chicken with 40 cloves of garlic is a delightful dish that showcases the wonderful combination of tender chicken and rich, roasted garlic. Serve it with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy the robust flavors and the compliments from your guests!
