Steps:
- Pour olive oil into blender and add red wine vinegar, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Blend until garlic marinade is smooth and creamy.
- Cut several deep slashes into the meat of each chicken piece using a sharp knife. Place chicken into a large bowl, pour marinade over chicken, and stir to get marinade into the cuts and all over the chicken. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Arrange chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and season both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece of chicken reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 40 to 45 minutes. Top with chopped Italian parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Simmer the garlic in a saucepan of water until tender, about 10 minutes (this will soften the flavor). Drain and let cool, then pop the jackets off the cloves and reserve.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the EVOO in a large ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is browned and very crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate. Melt the butter into the fat remaining in the skillet and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Deglaze with the Marsala, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and add the garlic. Add enough stock to come up and around the chicken but not cover the skin. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a warmed platter and loosely tent with foil. Reduce the sauce on the stovetop until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the kale and cook until just wilted, then stir in a bit of nutmeg.
- Spoon the sauce and kale into shallow bowls and top with the chicken. Serve with warm bread for mopping.
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.
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).

Steps:
- Preheat a 5-to 6-quart slow cooker; preheat oven to broil.
- Place chicken skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub oil onto skin and season generously with salt and pepper. Broil until skin is brown in places. Transfer chicken to the slow cooker. Add garlic, lemons, and thyme. Cover and cook on high until meat is tender and cooked through, about 2 1/2 hours (or on low for 5 hours). Serve with braised garlic, cooking liquid, and bread.
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.
GARLIC-BRAISED CHICKEN
"It's the only place where you can find a giant vat of peeled garlic, because it's the only place that truly understands how much garlic you'll need for the kind of food your people eat," Michelle Zauner writes about the supermarket H Mart in her memoir, "Crying in H Mart." Thankfully, many other grocery stores now sell containers of peeled garlic cloves. If you don't already buy those, then this recipe is a great reason to start. Chicken thighs, white pepper, chardonnay and 20 garlic cloves are all you need for this zinger of a one-pot meal, which braises in an hour. In that time, chicken fat, wine and water turn into a luscious sauce packed with garlicky redolence. The white pepper, musky and full of earthiness, is a key taste here, so don't skip it.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large Dutch oven over medium-high, add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom. Season the chicken with salt on both sides, then add to the pot skin side down. Cook until the skin turns golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. If the skin browns too quickly, lower the heat. Flip, and sear the other side briefly, about 1 minute. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the schmaltzy oil over medium-high, and stir until fragrant and very lightly golden at the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the white pepper, then immediately add the wine and 1 cup water. Scrape up any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pot while bringing the liquid to a simmer. Nestle the chicken in the pot skin side up, cover and cook in the oven until the chicken and garlic are meltingly tender, and the wine has reduced, about 1 hour. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt if needed. Serve with rice.

Steps:
- 1.remove as much fat as possible from thighs, roll back up into thigh shape, salt and pepper them 2. Sweat chopped onion in olive oil until soft 3. make room and sort of brown thighs on both sides., They will not really brown as there is no skin 4. Add 10-15 garlic cloves (I buy already peeled garlic and never add enough cloves to the pot, they are so good 5. Add white wine a cup or more 6. bring to a boil, turn down the heat to a bare simmer and cook for an hour (?) If becomes too dry add more liquid: water or chix broth. (More wine if you are going to continue cooking for awhile. otherwise the added wine gives this lush chicken recipe a harsh taste.)
Tips:
- Sear the chicken thighs well before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of aromatics in the braising liquid. This could include garlic, shallots, carrots, celery, and thyme.
- Let the chicken thighs braise for at least 1 hour. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the chicken thighs with a simple sauce made from the braising liquid. This could be thickened with a little cornstarch or flour.
- Garnish the chicken thighs with fresh herbs before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Braised chicken thighs with garlic is a delicious and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the garlic adds a wonderful depth of flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
