Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic.

[WillRiker]

Yes, you read the title right - 40 cloves of Garlic.

Kelly found this on a cookery show recently and wanted to give it a try. Personally I figured that it would be foul (pardon the pun), and just be overpowered by the garlic, but it worked really well.

The end result was that the was really flavoured with a hint of garlic and we had it with new potatoes and it was bloody lovely.

Ingredients:

• 1 Whole
• 40-50 cloves of garlic
• 1 lemon
• Olive Oil
• Bay Leaf
• Salt & Pepper

Erections:

1. Place lemon, (halved), into the cavity with bay leaf and salt & pepper.
2. Cover with Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper and massage all over.
3. Roast the for 20-30 minutes at 200 degrees C, (400 degrees F or Gas Mark 6), until starting to brown.
4. Once the has started to brown place the garlic all around the and roast for a further hour, or until cooked.
5. De-Glaze roasting tin with stock.
6. Allow to rest and add juices to gravy.
7. Serve with Boiled potatoes or rice.

Scarily simple....sounds disgusting somewhat, (and the whole house smells of garlic for a little while), but it really is nice when it's all done. You can also serve the roasted garlic cloves as a side garnish if you wanna.

Wonder what it tastes like with "OLD POTATOES"

[Purple Dragon]

well you mash old potatoes and boil new ones there is a big difference irondog you not up on your cooking skills

[mommysalomi]

But from what he told me he can make a kick ass burrito..........

[WillRiker]

Yep doggie, dunno what you call them over there, but over here they are categorised as new & old potatoes.

Couldn't tell what exactly the difference is, like dragon says I think you use old ones for chips (fries) and to mash and such, whereas new potatoes are ones that you boil.
