SLOW COOKER CHICKEN WITH 20 CLOVES OF GARLIC



Slow Cooker Chicken With 20 Cloves of Garlic image

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.

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (28-ounce) can or 2 (14-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
20 garlic cloves (about 2 heads of garlic), smashed
1/3 cup white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 6 large thighs)
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 scallions, trimmed, white and light green parts thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

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



Slow-Cooker Chicken with 20 Cloves of Garlic image

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).

GARLIC-ROSEMARY SLOW COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN



Garlic-Rosemary Slow Cooker Whole Chicken image

Once you try making a whole chicken in the slow cooker, you'll never want to roast it the old way again. In the slow cooker you'll get the moistest, most fool-proof, and hands-off whole chicken that you'll ever make. This recipe uses generous amounts of rosemary and garlic that not only infuse into the chicken, but also season the potatoes that cook underneath the chicken for a savory one-pot meal.

Provided by fabeveryday

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 8h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole roasting chicken
6 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons rosemary
freshly cracked salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion over the top of the potatoes.
  • Remove the chicken parts inside the cavity and pat the outside of the chicken dry. Slice deep, garlic clove-width slits into your chicken with a knife. Make 4 cuts on each side of the chicken, and 1 in each of the drumsticks. Stick a sliver of garlic deep into each cut. Place the remaining chunks of garlic into the cavity.
  • Starting on the back of the chicken, season generously with about 1/2 of the rosemary and cracked salt and pepper. Add some seasoning inside the chicken's cavity as well. Flip the chicken and place it breast side up in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and onions. Season the top of the chicken generously with the remaining rosemary and more cracked salt and pepper.
  • Cook on Low until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut, 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size. Serve with the potatoes and onions from the pot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best for this recipe, as they stay moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Use fresh garlic cloves: Fresh garlic cloves add the best flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh garlic cloves on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook on low for best results: Cooking the chicken on low for 6-8 hours will result in tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken.
  • Thicken the sauce, if desired: If you like a thicker sauce, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Add the slurry to the slow cooker and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker garlic clove chicken is an easy and flavorful meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. The chicken is cooked to perfection in a garlicky, savory sauce that's sure to please the whole family. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
