SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN WITH 20 CLOVES OF GARLIC
Developing this recipe -- a riff on the French bistro classic -- taught us a thing or two about how the slow, steady, moist heat of the slow cooker really intensifies flavors. When we tried the traditional 40-clove recipe, the garlic flavor was so strong, we cut the number in half (and we love garlic!). This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).

CHICKEN WITH FORTY CLOVES OF GARLIC
Steps:
- Separate the cloves of garlic and drop them into a pot of boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain the garlic and peel. Set aside.
- Dry the chicken with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the butter and oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, saute the chicken in the fat, skin side down first, until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn with tongs or a spatula; you don't want to pierce the skin with a fork. If the fat is burning, turn the heat down to medium. When a batch is done, transfer it to a plate and continue to saute all the chicken in batches. Remove the last chicken to the plate and add all of the garlic to the pot. Lower the heat and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, turning often, until evenly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and the wine, return to a boil, and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pot with the juices and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Cover and simmer over the lowest heat for about 30 minutes, until all the chicken is done.
- Remove the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sauce and the flour and then whisk it back into the sauce in the pot. Raise the heat, add the remaining tablespoon of Cognac and the cream, and boil for 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste; it should be very flavorful because chicken tends to be bland. Pour the sauce and the garlic over the chicken and serve hot.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN WITH 20 CLOVES OF GARLIC
This weeknight-friendly version of the French classic - chicken with 40 cloves of garlic - has half the amount of garlic, because a slow cooker doesn't get quite hot enough to mellow out 40 whole cloves. This dish cooks on high for three hours, but you can lengthen the cook time to six hours using the low heat setting. In that case, cut the garlic further to 15 cloves, because it may taste a bit stronger when cooked at that lower temperature. The beans end up pleasantly soupy, in a sauce rich with chicken juices and wine. The herbs stirred in at the end impart a welcome freshness. This is best served in shallow bowls, with good bread on the side.

Steps:
- Combine the beans, garlic, wine, oil, vinegar, thyme and red-pepper flakes in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Season the chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper, then nestle them in an even layer on top of the beans, skin-side up. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Line a sheet pan with foil and heat a broiler. Using tongs, remove the chicken thighs from the slow cooker, place them on the foil, skin-side up, and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, rotating once, until the chicken skin is golden and caramelized in spots.
- Stir the lemon juice, scallions and parsley into the beans. Serve the beans in bowls, and top with the chicken.
CHICKEN BRAISED WITH 20 CLOVES OF GARLIC
Steps:
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Separate head of garlic into individual cloves. Add to boiling water and cook 1 1/2 minutes, or until skin peels off easily. Drain and rinse briefly under cold running water. Peel garlic cloves. Trim any pieces of fat or extra skin from chicken; rinse pieces and pat dry. Season liberally with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and saute until skin is nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully holding lid against pan, pour off all but a thin film of fat. Turn chicken over and sprinkle onion between pieces. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits on bottom or around sides of pan. Boil until wine is reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Scatter garlic around chicken, season with thyme and pour broth into pan. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 25 minutes, or until chicken is very tender. Remove chicken and half of garlic cloves to a deep platter or serving dish. Skim fat off sauce in pan. Pour sauce into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. If sauce is too liquid, pour into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water and stir into sauce. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, until slightly thickened. Season sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste. Pour over chicken and serve.

CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC
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.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a shallow dish and add the chicken pieces; coat evenly with oil.

Tuck the garlic cloves in and around the chicken pieces. Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil, then the lid. Bake 90 minutes without removing the lid.
- 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.

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.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best for this recipe. They will stay moist and juicy during the long cooking time.
- Don't skimp on the garlic: The 20 cloves of garlic are what give this dish its signature flavor. Use a variety of sizes and shapes of garlic cloves for a more complex flavor.
- Roast the garlic first: Roasting the garlic before adding it to the chicken helps to mellow its flavor and make it more digestible.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is best for this recipe. It has a rich flavor that will complement the garlic and chicken.
- Cook the chicken low and slow: The chicken should be cooked over low heat for at least an hour, or until it is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve with a simple side dish: This chicken is so flavorful that it doesn't need much accompaniment. A simple salad or roasted vegetables would be perfect.
Conclusion:
Chicken with 20 Cloves of Garlic is a simple but incredibly flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is juicy and tender, the garlic is mellow and sweet, and the olive oil is rich and fragrant. This dish is sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen.
