Description: My mouth is watering just looking at this picture. The chicken comes out juicy and full of flavor. Even if garlic isn't your favorite ingredient (it is in my household) you will enjoy this dish. Excellent for a dinner party and makes a great gravy sauce to pour over the meat. Don't forget about all those cloves of garlic either.....toast up some bread and spread the roasted garlic on it.
Ingredients
dutch oven, roaster pan, or crock pot
1 chicken whole or cut up
ground pepper
rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley
garlic bulb cut in half
1 lemon cut in quarters
40 cloves of unpeeled garlic
2 stalks of celery cut into pieces
Directions:
1. Place celery pieces on bottom of dish or crock pot.
2. Season the chicken inside and out with spices and S&P. Place garlic bulb and cut up lemon inside the cavity.
3. Place chicken in pot and surround with garlic cloves.
4. Cover and cook: Crock pot- low 8 hours
Dutch oven- 350 deg. 1 1/2-2 hours or until chicken is at 165.
Gravy:
1/4 cup of cream
2 Tbsp cornstarch
S&P
A couple of roasted garlic cloves mashed.
Skim the fat off the liquid in the pot. Turn the heat to high. Add the cornstarch and cream and mix until smooth. Stir adding garlic cloves until thickened.
Tips and Tricks
Serve with noodles or mashed potatoes. Garlic cloves can be squished into potatoes or garlic bread.
I prefer the oven method.
