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

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons regular olive oil
8 chicken thighs (with skin on and bone in), preferably organic
1 bunch or 6 scallions
8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme
40 cloves garlic (approximately 3 to 4 heads), unpeeled
2 tablespoons dry white vermouth or white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoons table salt
Good grinding pepper

Steps:

  • When I was young, this old French classic was still - though in a quiet way - very much in vogue. I dare say it was because the novelty of using so many garlic cloves had not worn off; it seemed somehow dangerously excessive. Even so, I don't think anyone would think it quite unremarkable now to put 40 cloves of garlic in a casserole. Certainly, if you peeled and chopped - let alone minced - the garlic, it would be inedible, but garlic cloves cooked encased in their skins grow sweet and caramelly as they cook, like savory bonbons in their sticky wrappers, rather than breathing out acrid heat. This is a cozy supper, not a caustic one.
  • This dish entered my canon under someone else's auspices. A few years ago, for the fortieth birthday of a then-colleague and friend of mine, Nick Thorogood, his partner asked everyone to contribute something written expressly for purpose to be compiled in a fat tribute of a book. Since most of Nick's and my conversation dwells, with almost fetid passion, on food, it seemed only proper to write a recipe for him. And given that it was his fortieth birthday, this seemed the right recipe.
  • It is not quite the classic version (not that there is only one: food is as variable as the people who cook it) but it sticks to the basic principles. Maybe because the white meat on chicken tends towards the utterly tasteless these days, I prefer to use not a whole chicken, but thigh portions only. Naturally, this wouldn't make sense if you were raising your own chickens, then slaughtering them for the pot, as was the custom when this recipe came into being (and very good it would have been, too, for adding oomph to an old bird) but if you're following the contemporary shopping model, it works very well. For some reason, I veer towards recipes that can easily be cooked in one of my wide and shallow cast-iron Dutch ovens and this fits the bill perfectly.
  • By all means, add some steamed or boiled potatoes alongside if you wish, but I'd prefer, by far, a baguette or two to be torn up and dunked into the flavorsome juices; though don't rule out the option of sourdough toast, which is the perfect vehicle for spreading the sweet-cooked garlic onto. Otherwise, some green beans or baby peas or a plain green salad is all you need for a sure-fire salivation-inducing supper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil on the stovetop in a wide, shallow ovenproof and flameproof Dutch oven (that will ultimately fit all the chicken in one layer, and that has a lid), and sear the chicken over a high heat, skin-side down. This may take 2 batches, so transfer the browned pieces to a bowl as you go.
  • Once the chicken pieces are seared, transfer them all to the bowl. Finely slice the scallions, put them into the Dutch oven and quickly stir-fry them with the leaves torn from a few sprigs of thyme.
  • Put 20 of the unpeeled cloves of garlic (papery excess removed) into the pan, top with the chicken pieces skin-side up, then cover with the remaining 20 cloves of garlic. Add the vermouth (or white wine) to any oily, chickeny juices left in the bowl. Swish it around and pour this into the pan too. Sprinkle with the salt, grind over the pepper, and add a few more sprigs of thyme. Put on the lid and cook in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Make Ahead Note: Chicken can be browned and casserole assembled 1 day ahead. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. Season with salt and pepper and warm the pan gently on the stovetop for 5 minutes before baking as directed in recipe.
  • Making Leftovers Right: If I do have any chicken left over - and I don't think I've ever had more than 1 thigh portion - I take out the bone then and there and put the chicken in the refrigerator. Later (within a day or two), I make a garlicky soup, by removing the chicken, adding some chicken broth or water to the cold, jelled juices, placing it over a high heat and, when that's hot, shredding the chicken into it and heating it through thoroughly, till everything is piping hot. You can obviously add rice or pasta. Otherwise, mash any leftover garlic into the concentrated liquid (which will be solid when cold), chop up some leftover chicken, and put it all into a saucepan with some cream. Reheat gently until everything is piping hot, and use as a pasta sauce or serve with rice.

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.

CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC



Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic image

I love this dish and have made several versions throughout the years but this is the best I've found so far. It's from Cook's Illustrated. It's a bit more detailed work than other recipes but so totally worth it. The garlic gets sweet and mellow in this dish so if you are looking for a more spicy, biting garlic taste this may not be for you. If you like roasted garlic you will like this. I've made it with and without the vermouth, you can leave it out but it does add that extra touch of goodness. I always brine chicken no matter what the recipe but if you want you can skip that step. You can also peel the garlic if you prefer, but add a bit more oil when roasting it to keep it from sticking. Serve this with crusty bread to mop up the sauce. You must use an oven proof skillet.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup table salt
2 quarts water
1 (3 1/2-4 lb) whole chickens, cut into 8 pieces
ground black pepper
40 garlic cloves, from about 3 to 4 large heads outer papery skins removed, cloves separated and unpeeled (about 8 ounces)
2 medium shallots, peeled and quartered pole to pole
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup dry vermouth or 3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400°F.
  • Brine the chicken: Dissolve 1/4 cup salt in 2 quarts cold tap water in large container or bowl. Submerge chicken pieces in brine and refrigerate until fully seasoned, about 30 minutes. Rinse chicken pieces under running water and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of chicken pieces with pepper.
  • Meanwhile, toss garlic and shallots with 2 teaspoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in 9 inch pie plate; cover tightly with foil and roast until garlic is softened and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Shake pan once to toss the contents after 15 minutes (foil can be left on during tossing). Uncover, stir, and continue to roast, until browned and fully tender, about 10 minutes longer, stirring once or twice. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 450°F.
  • Using kitchen twine, tie together thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf and set aside.
  • Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in 12-inch heavy-bottomed ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Swirl to coat pan with oil. Brown chicken pieces skin-side down until deep golden, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and brown until golden on second side, about 4 minutes longer.
  • Transfer chicken to large plate and discard fat. Off the heat add vermouth, chicken broth, and herbs, scraping bottom of skillet with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
  • Set skillet over medium heat, add garlic and shallot mixture to pan, then return chicken, skin-side up to the pan, nestling pieces on top of and between the garlic cloves.
  • Place skillet in oven and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers about 160 F about 10 to 12 minutes. If desired, increase heat to broil and broil to crisp skin about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Using potholders or oven mitts, remove skillet from oven and transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Set the skillet aside on the stovetop, reserving the liquid.
  • Remove 10 to 12 garlic cloves and place in a mesh sieve and set aside. Using a slotted spoon, scatter the remaining garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken and the discard herbs.
  • With a rubber spatula push reserved garlic cloves through the sieve and into a bowl. Discard the skins.
  • Add the garlic paste to the remaining liquid in the skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, whisking occasionally to incorporate the garlic. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in butter. Pour sauce into sauceboat and serve with the chicken.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Opt for organic or free-range chicken and fresh, plump cloves of garlic.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the number of garlic cloves to your preference. If you're a garlic lover, feel free to add even more. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Take the time to brown the chicken well before adding the garlic. This will help develop a rich, flavorful crust.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to ensure even cooking. A clay pot is also a great option, as it will help retain moisture and flavor.
  • Cook the chicken and garlic over low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of crusty bread or rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic is a classic French dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. The combination of tender, juicy chicken and aromatic garlic cloves is simply irresistible.
