2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 whole chicken
40 cloves garlic
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the Dutch oven and brown on all sides in the butter and oil, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a cutting board.
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons of liquid from the pan; stir the garlic cloves into the reserved liquid. Return the chicken to the pan; sprinkle the water, lemon juice, salt, thyme, and black pepper over the chicken; cover tightly.

40 CLOVES AND A CHICKEN



40 Cloves and a Chicken image

Low and slow cooking transforms this garlic-filled chicken dish into a golden brown, juicy braise.Despite the fact that this recipe is classic European peasant fare, modern cooks tend to avoid it because unless you have a chronic vampire problem, 40 cloves seems...excessive. Ah! But when cooked into the chicken, the garlic becomes smooth and sweet and produces an aroma that wraps the kitchen like a hug. Make sure you have bread on hand to spread the soft garlic cloves onto and don't forget to sop up that oil. Yes, all of it. This recipe first appeared in Season 4 of Good Eats.

40 cloves garlic, peeled

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ºF.
  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces on all sides with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
  • In an 11-inch straight-sided, oven-safe saute pan set over high heat, cook the chicken until nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 1/2 cup oil, the thyme, and garlic cloves. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC



Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic image

In the two decades after World War II, Jane Stern and Michael Stern told Marian Burros of The Times in 1991, "a nation once known for square meals and the bluenose abstinence of Prohibition fell in love with deluxe food, vintage wine and the joy of cooking." They captured that gourmania in their book of that year, "American Gourmet," and this recipe, for a luxe and amazing casserole of nutmeg-scented chicken and garlic, comes from it. Serve the dish with a baguette or two, and squeeze the buds of garlic out on the bread. Spread the mash like butter and use the bread to mop up the luscious sauce.

2 cups chopped onion
6 parsley sprigs
1 teaspoon dried tarragon

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
dash grated nutmeg
40 cloves garlic, unpeeled
Freshly sliced French bread

  • Serve chicken, pan juices and garlic cloves with French bread. Diners should squeeze the buds of garlic from their husks onto the bread, then spread the garlic like butter.

ALTON BROWN'S SMOKED PAPRIKA CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Alton Brown's Smoked Paprika Chicken and Potatoes image

I saw Alton making this recipe on TV....DH and I made it the next evening. Fabulous flavors! Easy to make.

Provided by katie in the UP

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces pimento stuffed green olives, chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 garlic cloves, grated
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine the olives, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix the smoked paprika, olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper into a paste in a large bowl.
  • Lay the chicken thighs skin-side down. Using a pair of kitchen shears, make a cut down the length of the bone to expose it, then cut the meat away from the bone. Discard the bone.
  • Stuff about 2 tablespoons of the olive mixture under the skin of each chicken thigh and rub paprika paste on each. Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on a cooling rack.
  • Arrange the potato slices and onion pieces in an even layer on a foil-lined half sheet pan. (I also sprinkled left over paste on potatoes.).
  • Place cooling rack over potatoes and bake until the skin is crispy and the potatoes are tender, 55 to 60 minutes. If you prefer the potatoes crispy, remove the rack with the chicken and return to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken provides more flavor and juiciness than chicken parts. If you don't have a whole chicken, you can use chicken breasts or thighs, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Use plenty of garlic and cloves: The garlic and cloves add a lot of flavor to the chicken. Don't be afraid to use a lot of them.
  • Brown the chicken before roasting: Browning the chicken before roasting helps to seal in the juices and create a crispy skin.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken at a high temperature helps to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Letting the chicken rest before carving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Alton Brown's 40 Cloves and a Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of garlic, cloves, and lemon creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a memorable meal that is sure to become a family favorite.
