7 to 8 garlic cloves
2/3 cup white wine
butter
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Place a Dutch oven or casserole dish over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. When it begins to bubble, add garlic and stir.Sauté for 3 minutes. MAKE SURE THE BUTTER DOES NOT BURN.

Add the chicken pieces, turning them in the garlic/butter mixture. Try to get garlic on all sides of chicken. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Pour the wine over the top and bake for 40 minutes.

This recipe is great served with rice and a crisp green salad.

Variations:

More easy baked chicken recipes: Create a Tuscan garlic chicken by adding 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil or oregano to the garlic and butter mixture just before adding the chicken. Either of these herbs impart a wonderful flavor to the sauce.
The alcohol in the wine burns off in cooking, but if you really don't want the wine replace it with an equal amount of chicken broth.
Add a few sliced mushrooms to the butter and garlic mixture for more great flavor.
