I remember the first time I saw this recipe and I thought know way, that is a typo. But I saw it several other times with the same amount of garlic and had to give it a try. Sure am glad I did.

4 celery ribs, cut into long strips
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
6 sprig(s) italian parsley
1 Tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
2/3 c olive oil, extra virgin
16 chicken legs, any mix of drumsticks and thighs
1/2 c dry vermouth (white)
2 tsp kosher salt or to taste

Dip the chicken pieces into the oil, coat all sides evenly and place in the casserole. Pour the vermouth over the chicken and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and a few gratings of nutmeg. Tuck the garlic around and between the chicken pieces.
  • 2. Cover the top of the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and fit the lid over the foil to create an airtight seal. Bake for 1 1/3 hours without removing the cover. Check for doneness; return casserole to the oven if the chicken seems underdone.

This is a classic French fricassee, a Provençal dish popularized by Richard Olney, James Beard and other great cookbook writers of the postwar generation. An immense amount of garlic cooks slowly alongside the chicken, reducing the pungency of the cloves and replacing it with a thrumming sweetness and intensity. Eat the chicken in its sauce, then spread the softened garlic on bread and dip it in the remaining juices.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

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.
  • 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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. James Beard recommends using a 3 1/2 to 4-pound chicken for this recipe. A larger chicken will not cook evenly and a smaller chicken will dry out.
  • Use a heavy pot. A heavy pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Brown the chicken well. Browning the chicken will help to develop flavor and keep the chicken moist.
  • Use plenty of garlic. Don't be afraid to use all 40 cloves of garlic! The garlic adds a ton of flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the chicken slowly. Cooking the chicken slowly will help to tenderize it and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Letting the chicken rest before serving will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

James Beard's Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the garlic adds a delicious depth of flavor. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
