Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe

This classic baked garlic chicken recipe is also known as 40 Garlic Chicken, or Ali Baba Chicken by some.

Yes there really are 40 cloves of garlic in the chicken!

Don't worry though. The garlic becomes sweet and fragrant as it roasts.

When looking for healthy recipes that include protein foods, this easy garlic chicken is ideal.

And it's simple to prepare, even for beginner cooks.

Garlic Baked Chicken

Ingredients
3 to 4 pound whole roasting chicken
salt and pepper
40 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ cup chicken stock

Sprinkle the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff garlic cloves into the cavity. Tie legs together. Tuck wing tips behind chicken's back.

Place chicken, breast side up, on a greased wire rack in a roasting pan. Brush chicken with oil. Pour stock into pan.

Roast chicken at 350° for 25 minutes per pound (1¼ to 1¾ hours for an average bird), basting often with juices and stock from the pan.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Discard string. Remove garlic cloves and mash.

Garlic cloves can be spread on the chicken or on toasted rounds of French or Italian bread for an extra treat.

Makes 4-6 servings

I love these pretty heart shaped French ceramic baking dishes. The ceramic hearts are freezer to oven to table safe, microwave and dishwasher safe.
