Description

This show-stopping dish transforms humble chicken pieces into a luxurious meal through the magic of roasted garlic. The forty cloves of garlic, cooked until soft and sweet, melt into a velvety sauce enriched with butter and white wine. The chicken remains juicy and tender, absorbing the aromatic flavors of thyme and bay leaf. It is an elegant yet comforting centerpiece perfect for dinner parties or special family gatherings. The result is a sophisticated, savory experience that balances the pungency of garlic with the richness of butter, creating a dish that is both indulgent and deeply satisfying. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the incredible sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Brown the chicken pieces in the skillet on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
  4. Scatter the 40 unpeeled, blanched garlic cloves around the chicken in the skillet.
  5. Sprinkle the dried thyme and bay leaf over the chicken and garlic.
  6. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  7. Transfer the cooked chicken and garlic cloves to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
  8. Discard the bay leaf from the skillet.
  9. Skim and discard any excess fat from the cooking liquid in the skillet.
  10. Pour the dry white wine into the hot skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  11. Increase the heat to high and reduce the wine by half.
  12. Add the chicken broth and continue to reduce until the liquid is thickened to about 3/4 cup.
  13. Remove the skillet from the heat and swirl in the remaining 4 tablespoons of softened butter until melted and emulsified.
  14. Pour the garlic-infused sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
