40 Garlic Clove Chicken

Yes, 40 cloves of garlic went into making this 40 garlic clove chicken. Yes, the house smelled like garlic. A lot. But, it was worth it. I was worried that the chicken would be so garlicky it would be inedible, but I was sooooo wrong. It came out perfectly flavored and very, very tender.

40 Garlic Clove Chicken

Eating this chicken reminded me of the garlic fries at the now-closed Boogie Burger. It brings the garlic, but in such a good way. Don’t be afraid and try and cut back on the amount of garlic. Next time I might even use 41 cloves!

And if you have any leftovers, this chicken makes for a great sandwich!

Also try my roasted garlic chicken with parmesan gravy.
