You read that right, 40 cloves of garlic-4 whole bulbs! A classic French chicken recipe that's cooked to perfection with bay, thyme, vermouth and white wine to create a mouthwatering dish that will fill your kitchen with irresistible aromas. A winning combination that will appeal, not just die-hard garlic fans, but to everyone who enjoys a cozy meal. Serve with crusty bread, or mashed potatoes and vegetables of your choice.

 
  • 1-1.2 kg Whole chicken legs (or thigs or drumsticks)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Chicken schmalz (or olive oil)
  • 40 Garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 125 ml Dry white wine
  • 125 ml Vermouth
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 2-3 Thyme sprigs (or tarragon)
  • 250 ml Chicken stock (or water)
  1. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the schmalz or oil in a casserole pan or deep skillet that will fit all the chicken in one layer) over a moderate heat. Add the chicken and garlic and fry, turning, for around 8–10 minutes, until both are golden brown all over.
  2. Add the white wine, bay leaves and thyme, and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is almost completely cooked away.
  3. Add the stock or water and cover with a lid. Then cook over a very low heat for around 30–35 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  4. Remove the casserole pan from the heat and rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving. Eat the garlic cloves, squeezing them out from their casings, with the chicken and juices.

We are debating whether to go full on vegetarian, Angie. No decision yet, although we are more than half way there, but if we do most of your recipes will become irrelevant, unfortunately.

This looks amazing. We're having chicken tonight and maybe I'll try this instead of grilling it. Happy Wednesday Angie.

Oy, that is a costly recipe, for some reason garlic has been expensive here for years now, also lemon and tomatoes, weird because they used to be cheap as hell when I was kleine.

Preparo un pollo bastante parecido a este, sin tanto ajo, pero muy bueno también. Me ha encantado este pollo y el nombre que le has puesto es genial.

Hi Angie, Great looking chicken dish! Love chicken and garlic with lemon so this is perfect for us. Can't believe that you usually just eat the skin. As for that 'skimpy' uniform, it's really modest compared to the 1980s and 1990s version. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

I bet it isn't overly garlicy because the garlic is roasted along side of the chicken. It looks like comfort food at its best.

I have to laugh as it was "Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic" that put me in the hospital and was the way I found out I was allergic to garlic (and not tomatoes, as they had thought).
