Awesome Baked Garlic Chicken Recipes

PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
• Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

AWESOME BAKED GARLIC & CHICKEN

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• Chef's Tip: If you get a chance, you should brine the chicken. This will add additional flavor and moisture to the bird, and help to flavor the sauce.
• Add the chicken pieces to a bowl with the olive oil and thoroughly coat.
• Chef's Note: When I cut up a whole fryer, I separate the legs, the thighs, the wings, and the breasts. That should give you 8 pieces.
• Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat oven to 375f (190c).
• Add the celery, onions, potatoes, and tarragon to a large ovenproof pot.
• Chef's Note: This pot needs a nice tight-fitting lid.
• Add the chicken to the pot in a nice layer above the veggies.
• Add the vermouth, and the chicken stock.
• Season with some salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg.
• Chef's Tip: If you brined the chicken, you can skip using any salt in the seasoning.
• Add the garlic cloves by placing them around the chicken pieces
• Chef's Note: Separate the garlic from the bulb, but do not peel it. This will concentrate the flavors of the garlic, and make it a spread for your bread. If you've never spread baked garlic on a piece of homemade crusty bread, you haven't lived.
• Cover the pot with the lid.
• Chef's Tip: If your lid is not very tight, add a piece of foil to the top and then place the lid on top,
• Place in the preheated oven, and then bake for 90 minutes without opening the oven and peeking.
• Put the chicken in a nice serving dish (or go rustic and leave it in the pot).
• Let your guests grab (with tongs) a piece or two of the chicken, and spoon the juice over the top. And don't forget some of those garlic cloves. Have your guests squeeze the garlic paste onto some nice freshly baked, crusty bread, and then use it to sop up that wonderful sauce. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
