The natural reaction to hearing the name of this dish is Whaaat?! I know, 40 cloves of garlic just sounds excessive, but when it’s cooked like this it actually turns sweet and nutty, with a deliciously buttery consistency. (If you’ve ever had roasted garlic you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.)
When the weather starts to get chillier, most of us start making our favorite comfort food meals. Roast chicken is my top choice and it’s always the first hearty dish I make as fall is being ushered in. For a fancy French meal, this one couldn’t be easier to put together; it basically involves roasting chicken in a wine sauce with a lot of garlic. You can serve it with anything you’d serve roast chicken with; definitely something to soak up all those delicious juices, like crusty bread, mashed potatoes, rice (or cauliflower rice to keep it low-carb!), or pasta, and also a vegetable like steamed green beans, broccoli, or sautéed carrots.
You won’t regret using all 40 cloves, and actually, I’ve read that you can make this recipe with up to 100 cloves! Give this one a try the next time you’re in the mood for roast chicken.
