CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

Recipe By : The Cook's Book of Uncommon Recipes
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chicken & Turkey

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 frying chickens cut into serving sizes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large carrots
6 stalks celery
2 large onions
40 cloves garlic (5 or 6 heads should do)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup dry white wine
Salt and pepper

If you buy whole chickens, cut them into serving size pieces. Rub the pieces
with olive oil. Peel the carrots and cut into chunks about 2-3 inches long.
Cut the celery into pieces about the same length. Cut the onions in half
lengthwise (not across as for slices) and divide each half into long narrow
pieces (match sticks). Peel the garlic but leave whole. Arrange the chicken
pieces in a casserole with a tight lid. Distribute the carrots, celery,
garlic, and parsley over chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the
dry white wine over all. Put a layer of foil over all, large enough that it
will stick out after the lid has been put in place. Put the lid on the
casserole and bake at 350F for 1 1/2 hours.

YIELD: 6-8 servings

NOTES : Don't worry!! By cooking for a long time, the garlic flavor
permeates the chicken and the garlic itself mellows in flavor at the same time.
