Recipe Suggestion:
Try this French classic for a real show stopper of a dinner. Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic
1. In a large casserole dish set over a medium heat, season and brown 8 skin on chicken thighs in a generous amount of olive oil and butter.
2. Turn off the heat, remove the chicken and set to one side (please note the chicken is not cooked at this point so treat it as raw and wash hands, utensil, worktops etc.)
3. Take your 40 cloves of garlic (1.5-2 packs); put half the garlic cloves in the bottom of the dish, return the chicken, arranging in one layer, skin side up and add the remaining garlic and any juices from the chicken. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and add a small glug of white wine.
4. Put the lid on the casserole dish and put in a preheated oven at 180°C. Cook for 45-60 minutes, basting half way through, until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove the chicken from the dish with a slotted spoon, cover with foil and rest for 10 mins.
6. The chicken can simply be served with the juices and garlic cloves as they are; or you can gently heat the juices, smash some of the garlic cloves to thicken and add 500ml of fresh chicken stock and seasoning as required, bringing it to a simmer and reducing slightly to make a more gravy like sauce.
Delicious served with buttered new potatoes and greens.
