Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Mix together salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Pat chicken dry and rub all over with 1 of the garlic heads. Rub all over (under skin too) with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place 1 garlic head and 1 lemon half in the chicken cavity.
- Arrange remaining garlic, lemon, and onion on the bottom of a 3 to 4-quart baking dish to create a bed. Place chicken on top, add broth to baking dish, and cover tightly with foil. Roast until chicken reaches 135 to 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour.
- Remove foil, brush chicken with pan juices, and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Roast, basting occasionally, until temperature of chicken on inner thigh is 165 degrees F, skin is golden brown, and juices run clear, about 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, pour pan juices into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Carve chicken and serve each portion with 1 head of garlic and pan sauce.
SLOW-ROASTED GARLIC & LEMON CHICKEN
I cannot claim this recipe as my own. Its actually a Nigella Lawson recipe (thanks Lifestyle Channel in Australia!!!). It is a super easy and extremely tasty one-pot recipe. I make it summer and winter, but I can see why it is good for summer due to the lightness of the dish. Perfect with either the full contingency of roast veg or equally with a nice light salad, cold or warm.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC.
- Put the chicken pieces into a roasting tin and add garlic cloves, lemon chunks and the thyme; just roughly pull the leaves off the stalks, leaving some intact for strewing over later.
- Add the oil and using your hands mix everything together, then spread the mixture out, making sure all the chicken pieces are skin side up.
- Sprinkle over the white wine and grind on some pepper, then cover tightly with foil and put in the oven to cook, at flavour-intensifying low heat, for 2 hours.
- Remove the foil from the roasting tin, and turn up the oven to 200ºC and cook the uncovered chicken for another 30-45 minutes, by which time the skin on the meat will have turned golden brown and the lemons will have begun to scorch and caramelise at the edges.
- Serve straight from the roasting tin to plate.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Trim dark tops from green garlic and place in chicken cavity; loosely tie legs together with kitchen twine. Halve green garlic bulbs and pale-green parts. Place chicken in a 2-qt. baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Tuck green garlic, garlic cloves, and lemon wedges around (make sure everything fits snugly to keep garlic from getting too dark); pour oil over. Roast, turning garlic and lemon occasionally, until chicken is very tender and garlic is soft and deeply caramelized, 2 1/2-3 hours. Serve chicken with garlic and lemon alongside.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken is best for this recipe, as it will yield the most flavorful results. Look for a chicken that is about 3-4 pounds in size.
- Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat or skin. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, inside and out.
- Roast the garlic: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the garlic cloves in a single layer in a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the garlic is golden brown and tender.
- Stuff the chicken: Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly. Then, stuff the garlic cloves into the cavity of the chicken. You can also add other herbs or spices to the cavity, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Roast the chicken: Place the chicken in a roasting pan and breast-side up. Roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Conclusion:
Slow-roasted garlic chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted garlic infuses the chicken with a wonderful flavor, and the chicken itself is juicy and tender. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
