Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 heads garlic (about 40 cloves)
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, as needed
2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (6 to 8 thighs)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
One 12-inch baguette, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the top third off 2 heads of garlic, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put each head on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and roast until the cloves are golden brown and very soft, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
  • Unwrap the roasted garlic and pour any garlic-flavored oil from the foil into a small bowl. Squeeze the roasted cloves into the same bowl, discarding the papery shells. Mash with a fork until smooth; set aside.
  • Peel and trim the remaining head of garlic. Thinly slice 5 cloves. Heat about 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add 1 slice of garlic. Cook until the garlic is at a lively sizzle, then sprinkle in the rest of the sliced garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is just golden and crisp (don't overcook or it will be bitter), about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in 2 batches skin-side down and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Discard the oil and return the Dutch oven to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining garlic cloves and cook until the garlic is light golden, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, thyme and half of the reserved garlic paste. Bring to a boil.
  • Use a fork to mash together the flour and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the butter-flour mixture into the Dutch oven until dissolved. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Nestle in the chicken skin-side up along with any collected juices from the plate. Cover and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the Parmesan, parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the remaining garlic paste. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
  • Put the bread halves on a baking sheet and spread with the garlic mixture. When the chicken has 10 minutes left, add the bread to the oven and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes.
  • Cut the bread into pieces. Top the chicken with the reserved garlic chips and chopped parsley.

ROASTED-GARLIC CHICKEN



Roasted-Garlic Chicken image

Whole roasted garlic bulbs are a delicious garnish for this recipe, and you can roast them at the same time that you roast the chicken.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 roasting chicken (3 to 4 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
4 sprigs rosemary, plus more for garnish
2 lemons, halved
Roasted-Garlic Butter, softened
2 recipes (4 bulbs) Whole Roasted Garlic, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove giblets and any excess fat from chicken cavity. Rinse chicken inside and out with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Tuck wing tips under body. Season cavity with salt and pepper; stuff with parsley, rosemary, and 2 lemon halves.
  • Gently separate skin from chicken with your hands. Spread garlic butter over entire surface of chicken and under skin. Generously season with salt and pepper. Cross chicken legs, and tie ends together with kitchen twine. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan. Arrange remaining 2 lemon halves around bird.
  • Roast chicken, basting occasionally with accumulated pan juices, until skin is crisp and deep golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175 degrees, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and lemon halves to a platter. Let chicken stand 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with rosemary, and whole roasted garlic, if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your garlic chicken turns out perfectly.
  • Brown the chicken well: Searing the chicken over medium-high heat will give it a nice golden brown crust and help to lock in the flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of chicken, be sure to do it in batches so that the chicken has enough space to brown properly.
  • Use a good quality garlic: Fresh garlic is always best, but if you're using jarred garlic, be sure to choose a brand that you trust.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Garlic chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, it's a great choice for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Whether you're following the original recipe or trying one of the variations, you're sure to enjoy this delicious dish.
