February 23, 2010 - 40 cloves and a chicken


No, it's not a typo - this recipe calls for 40 cloves of garlic.  Trust me, and trust Alton Brown and his recipe.  I was a bit skeptical going in, worried that the garlic will be too overpowering, but I was wrong.  After an hour and a half in the oven, we had a nice golden garlicky chicken. 



And what to do with all that garlic?  Toast some baguette and use the garlic as a spread, and sprinkle on some parmesan! Yum.

It didn't taste like too much garlic, but peeling 40 cloves took forever!!
