Ali Baba and the 40 cloves of garlic : the recipe !

And here's the recipe of a chicken, that we're going to call Ali Baba and his 40 cloves of garlic. 
Just because we need a lot of garlics and I thought this title would be fine. 

You'll need : 
  • Pieces of chicken (legs go well), as much as you want.
  • 40 cloves of garlic (or so)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 cup of white wine
  • Dry thyme
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper
  • One pan who can go on fire and in oven. Or as me, two pans.
Your oven must be preheated at 180°C (350°F / Th 6)


Step 1 : 
For once, this recipe doesn't begin by onions, but by meal ! Let brown your chicken on the skin side.


Step 2 : 
Separate your cloves but don't peel them. Because if you needed to peel 40 cloves of garlic, you would have to begin some hours before.



Step 3 :
When your chicken is brown, take it off the pan and replace by onion. 


Step 4 : 
When onion is caramelizing, add the wine and let 2 minutes more.



Step 5 : 
Arrange the half of garlic in your pan who will go to the oven, the chiken and the second half of garlic.




Step 6 : Sprinkle with dry thyme, salt and pepper.


Step 7 : 
Finish with pouring the wine. 


Step 8 : 
Cover with a lid or with aluminum sheet and in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes.



That's it ! Believe, chicken is incredibly tender and perfumed.




Bon appétit !!
