Some of the fanciest meals are pretty quick and easy to make. This is just one of those meals, a few ingredients, a little patience and you have a delicious dinner. But remember you better like garlic!
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (about 6 lbs) cut into 8 pieces – if you don’t feel like being a butcher, ask them to cut it for you or just buy the parts you want.
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
- 40 peeled cloves garlic – this is about 2-3 heads of garlic. You can even buy pre-peeled garlic cloves!
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan that can go in the oven or a dutch oven.
- Add your salt and pepper and brown your chicken on all sides. This will take a couple minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
- Add in your 1/2 cup oil, thyme and garlic.
- Put your cover on and bake for at least 90 minutes until your chicken is done.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes so the juices redistribute.
