Description

This elegant yet simple dish features chicken portions roasted until tender and juicy, accompanied by whole cloves of elephant garlic that soften and sweeten during cooking. The mild, non-pungent flavor of elephant garlic pairs beautifully with the piney notes of fresh rosemary and the brightness of white wine. It is a perfect weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests. The garlic cloves become creamy and spreadable, making them a delicious addition to crusty bread. With minimal prep time and one-pan cleanup, this recipe delivers a hearty, aromatic meal that highlights the natural flavors of high-quality ingredients.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190°C).
  2. Place the chicken portions in a single layer in a baking dish with a fitted cover.
  3. Sprinkle the fresh rosemary and thyme (or dried herbs) evenly over the chicken.
  4. Add one bay leaf to the dish.
  5. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Place the unpeeled elephant garlic cloves in and around the chicken pieces.
  7. Drizzle the olive oil and white wine over the chicken and garlic to baste.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with its lid or foil.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for one hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  10. Serve the chicken with the softened garlic cloves, which can be squeezed out and spread on crusty French bread.
