Our dearest friends, the recipe that HozOboz has prepared for you is something incredible and jaw-dropping but at the same time really easy one. This the chicken garlic recipe. Of course, you may say like ‘who haven't eaten chicken with garlic?’ The answer is ‘you've definitely never tried such a good garlic chicken, because it’s better than anything you tried before’. The thing is, it’s not just a garlic chicken, but the one made according to the old french recipe. And you’ll need so much garlic here, like 40 pieces of it. Again, the amount of garlic here is just tremendous, but both french people and HozOboz are sure you’ll enjoy it.
Poulet aux 40 gousses d'ail (which is the original name of the dish) is the ancient recipe of french cuisine. There are different options of it were rosemary and thyme is used, sometimes even white wine is added and the dish is pressurized with dough. We have chosen the easiest and basic way to cook the garlic chicken. By the way, do you know three key ingredients of the french cuisine? Butter, butter and one more butter.
Why should you consume more chicken and garlic?
It’s really hard to overestimate the healthy features of chicken meat that is a great source of protein without which normal functioning of your body is merely impossible. Protein is the fundamental building material for the cells of the body just as the butter is the key ingredient of the french cuisine. One more advantage of eating chicken is that it’s dietetic so mostly everyone can easily eat it unless there some allergic reactions to chicken meat.
Chicken is also a lo-fat meat, so it’s often an important element in various diets. However, the chicken skin should be excluded from your daily diet if you don’t want to gain some weight. And that’s a rather disappointing fact because crispy chicken skin is obviously delicious. Especially in our new recipe.
Wash the whole chicken thoroughly with cold water and wipe it well.
Put some butter on the bottom of a heatproof casserole.
Add not more than 2 sprigs of dried or fresh rosemary. If you don’t like it, use other spice, for example thyme, but please don’t add to much of it not to kill the taste of the chicken meat itself.
Place a few pieces of garlic into the dish.
Then take the bird and butter it everywhere - that will definitely make the chicken crispy and yummy. You’ll need to have 2 tablespoons of butter to achieve that effect.
Now you should rub the inner and outer part of the bird with salt.
Sprinkle the bird with the preferred spice, we’ve chosen rosemary, for instance.
Put the leftovers of butter on the top of the bird of around it.
Do the same thing with garlic dividing it evenly on the top and around it.
Bake the chicken at 430F for approximately an hour and a half. Once you notice the skin starts to burn a bit, just cover the dish with a lid.
Everything is ready now! What a yummy dish for the meat lovers! Bon Appetite, folks!
So, how do you like the recipe? Isn’t it astonishing? Once you try such a chicken, you’ll definitely never forget it. By the way, the French often cook quite the same thing in the oven using mayonnaise instead of butter. Next time you may try to do so, but we prefer the first option of course.
