• Arrange chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and season both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper.

CHICKEN WITH FORTY CLOVES OF GARLIC

Steps:

• Separate the cloves of garlic and drop them into a pot of boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain the garlic and peel. Set aside.
• Dry the chicken with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the butter and oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, saute the chicken in the fat, skin side down first, until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn with tongs or a spatula; you don't want to pierce the skin with a fork. If the fat is burning, turn the heat down to medium. When a batch is done, transfer it to a plate and continue to saute all the chicken in batches. Remove the last chicken to the plate and add all of the garlic to the pot. Lower the heat and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, turning often, until evenly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and the wine, return to a boil, and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pot with the juices and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Cover and simmer over the lowest heat for about 30 minutes, until all the chicken is done.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sauce and the flour and then whisk it back into the sauce in the pot. Raise the heat, add the remaining tablespoon of Cognac and the cream, and boil for 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste; it should be very flavorful because chicken tends to be bland. Pour the sauce and the garlic over the chicken and serve hot.

CHICKEN BRAISED WITH 20 CLOVES OF GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Separate head of garlic into individual cloves. Add to boiling water and cook 1 1/2 minutes, or until skin peels off easily. Drain and rinse briefly under cold running water. Peel garlic cloves. Trim any pieces of fat or extra skin from chicken; rinse pieces and pat dry. Season liberally with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and saute until skin is nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully holding lid against pan, pour off all but a thin film of fat. Turn chicken over and sprinkle onion between pieces. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits on bottom or around sides of pan. Boil until wine is reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons, about 2 minutes.

• Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Salt and pepper liberally and allow to temper on a cutting board while you prepare the garlic. In a large ovenproof saute pan over medium heat, cook the whole garlic cloves in olive oil and butter, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside. Increase the heat to medium high and brown the chicken skin-side down until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, sprinkle on herbes de Provence. Add the garlic back to the pan and place hot pan in oven. Bake the chicken until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Once the chicken is done, remove chicken thighs and garlic to a platter. Place the pan over medium-high heat and sprinkle the drippings with flour and stir to incorporate. Deglaze the pan with the stock and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter and serve with bread for sauce-mopping and garlic-spreading.

50 SHADES OF GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. (I'm tempted to change that to 400F for a larger chicken.).
• ROASTING BED:.
• Cut off tops of heads of garlic (do not peel the garlic, but you may remove excess "skin"). Arrange in bottom of half size serving tray (~9" x 13"). (At least use enough heads of garlic to cover the base of the chicken. You could use a steaming tray to corral the garlic, or arrange additional vegetables on the outer edges.).
• Spray roasting bed with olive oil flavored cooking spray.
• Spread a small piece of fresh thyme on each head of garlic, then lay 2 branches of rosemary across center group of garlic heads.
• CHICKEN:.
• Combine onions, bell peppers, celery, parsley, fresh thyme sprigs and 5 garlic cloves. Place in cavity of the chicken.
• Place chicken, breast side up, on top of the roasting bed.
• Sprinkle chicken with mix of pepper, salt and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
• Coat chicken with cooking spray.
• Tie end of legs together with cooking twine and tuck wing tips under the chicken.
• Roast for 40 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Bake an additional 20 minutes (for a 3 1/2 pound chicken, maybe) or until a thermometer registers 170 degrees. (It has not been unusual for me to need an additional 30 minutes for a 4 1/2-to-5-lb. roasting chicken.).
• Transfer chicken to a platter.
• Remove garlic cloves from the roasting pan, squeeze them out of the skins and reserve 5 of them for the sauce. Scatter the remainder around the chicken, cover the platter with foil and allow the chicken to rest. (Remember, you can also freeze excess roasted garlic cloves for use in Creamy Thyme Sauce at a moment's notice.).
• CREAMY THYME SAUCE:.
• Place the reserved roasted garlic cloves, broth, white wine and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• While the broth is simmering, combine flour and water in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth.
• Slowly pour the slurry into the broth while whisking the broth (if I can do this, you can, too. Just don't ask me to chew gum and hop on one leg).
• Simmer the broth for 5 minutes or until thicken, whisking often.
• Remove and discard garlic from the sauce (or not, depending on your guests' preference).
• I recommend that you leave the skin on this chicken; it is terrific!
• Carve chicken, garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
• Serve chicken with garlic cloves and sauce.
• Bonus: We always have chicken-roasted garlic cloves left over, so I freeze 6 cloves to a sandwich bag and put all the sandwich bags into a 1-pint freezer bag so they are ready to plop into whatever recipe needs some garlic. Roasted garlic does not requiring sauteeing.
