A simply roasted chicken is one of the greatest pleasures in life. cook it right, and you have this soft, juicy meat that acts as a great ancillary to other flavours. I haven't done a Sunday roast playlist video for a while now, so i thought i'd give you one today.
Roast chicken with 40 cloves of garlic, might sound a bit extreme, and you're probably thinking 'OMG all that garlic is too much!' but actually it's not at all. What happens is the unpeeled cloves of garlic stew in the olive oil and chicken juices, to create these little nuggets of mild, sweet garlics that are amazing to eat on their own. They lose all of the harsh, raw garlic flavour and become mellow and delicious.
It's important to use a decent chicken here, a good quality free range one, or if you're really wanting to push the boat out...a poulet de bresse! Those things are ridiculously expensive mind, and way out of my current budget. So with that in mind, a good quality shop bought chicken is what i've used today. The chicken is seasoned very simply with butter, salt and pepper, and some fresh thyme thrown in for good measure. You can add a slice of lemon into the cavity if you wish.
Those soft, sweet garlic cloves are delicious just served alongside the chicken, with some veg and potatoes. If you're making a gravy, then squish 1 or 2 of them into it for a really nice flavour.
To make my roast chicken with 40 cloves of garlic you will need:
►1 chicken around 1.3-1.5kg in weight
►4 cloves of garlic (about 3-4 bulbs)
►About 250ml of olive oil
►Small bunch of fresh thyme
►Generous knob of butter
►Salt & black pepper
►A roasting tray that just fits the chicken (you don't want loads of space around the chicken. It needs to be nice and snug).

Soul-Warming Dinner: Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic
A lightning-fast French dinner, perfect for wintertime (or anytime). The garlic becomes sweet and buttery as it cooks. I like to spread the garlic on slices of a crusty baguette. Printable recipe is on my website here:
Cast Iron Chicken With 42 Cloves Of Garlic
Here we present chicken with 42 cloves of garlic, braised in a cast iron skillet. It's supposed to be chicken with forty cloves, but 42 is a special number to anyone who knows The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Peeling all those garlic cloves is a chore, but it's definitely worth it when the garlic is cooked. And, trust me, the garlic is truly the centerpiece of this dish -- perhaps even more than the chicken itself. When people first hear that this dish is made with forty (or forty-two) cloves of garlic, their first reaction is to shy away. Won't all of that garlic give this dish an incredibly strong and overbearing garlic taste? This is where the magic happens: no, it ''doesn't'' taste like incredibly strong garlic. As the garlic cooks, the flavor becomes mellow and even sweet, while the garlic cloves themselves become so soft, they can be mashed with a fork or spread on a piece of bread like butter. The recipe for this dish can be seen on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at:

30 Cloves Garlic Chicken Recipe | French Bistro Recipes
The 30 cloves of garlic chicken is made with chicken that is braised in wine and cognac with 30 cloves of garlic, this French bistro packs a punch of flavors.
Get the recipe:
can be served with a ratatouille or macaroni gratin
pair with a white burgundy or chardonnay.
This French cuisine 30 cloves garlic chicken recipe dates back from our grandmas time and there is no clear origin that I know of as to why someone decided to cook a chicken with 30 or even 40 cloves of garlic. I know that the French soil is perfect for garlic growing and many region also have farm chickens widely available so perhaps that back in the days, farmers did not have much else to cook just decided to use what they had: garlic and chicken.but who knows?
Anyway in this modern day french bistro food version, we are simply sauteing pieces of chicken with lots of garlic cloves. the dish is then flambe with cognac and deglazed with white wine to create that super concentrated jus full of flavors. The garlics clove are cooked in their sleeves so the chicken does not taste that must of garlic but what you do get, is garlic cloves that are cooked from inside and almost become pureed garlic.
in this video I give two version of that easy garlic chicken recipe. one version is the original French bistro chicken recipe and the second is my twist of that recipe where I only create a quick creamy garlic sauce at the end. no use to say that if garlic is your thing you have to try that 30 cloves garlic chicken recipe.
can be served with a ratatouille or macaroni gratin
pair with a white burgundy or chardonnay.

Iron Skillet Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic Recipe - Noreen's Kitchen
Greetings! Here is fantastic, easy roast chicken recipe that has its history steeped in French tradition! Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic is a French classic that is timeless. In the 70's it was seriously popular and in the 80's is when I was first introduced to it by the Frugal Chef, Jeff Smith, one beautiful Saturday morning during my PBS station's cooking show line up.
Of course Jeff Smith paved the way for many a new television cook, but in my heart he will always have a special place. How could you not love him? His approach to life and food was amazing and it is in honor of him that I share this recipe with you.
Roast chicken can seem ubiquitous and superfluous, but it needent be. In it's simplicity, lies its beauty. Take a chicken, lather it with butter or oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, stuff it with a lemon or some aromatics and another sprinkle of whatever herbs you choose, then put it in an iron skillet, surround it with a ton of cloves from the stinking rose and put that in a cracking hot oven for just under an hour. Be sure to baste a couple of times to keep the skin moist and crisping.
When you take this from your oven, you are going to be so happy that this is your dinner! Allow to cool, carve and eat. The garlic is an amazing accompaniment to roasted potatoes and broccoli or just a green salad, but don't discard the garlic, because it will keep covered in a bit of oil for at least a week. Smear that on some toasted baguette and you are in heaven.
I hope you give this classic French recipe a try and when you do, lift up a little thanks to Jeff Smith. Then go look him up for a good memory.
I hope you try this and I hope you love it. (I know that you will!)
Happy Eating!
