This classic baked garlic chicken recipe is also known as 40 Garlic Chicken or Ali Baba Chicken. Yes there really are 40 cloves of garlic in the chicken! The garlic becomes sweet and fragrant as it roasts.

Ingredients
3 to 4 pound whole roasting chicken
salt and pepper
40 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup chicken stock

Sprinkle the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff garlic cloves into the cavity. Tie legs together. Tuck wing tips behind chicken's back.

Place chicken, breast side up, on a greased wire rack in a roasting pan. Brush chicken with butter. Pour stock into pan.

Roast chicken at 350° for 25 minutes per pound (1¼ to 1¾ hours for an average bird), basting often with juices and stock from the pan.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Discard string. Remove garlic cloves and mash.

Garlic cloves can be spread on the chicken

Makes 4-6 servings

an easy slow cooker type for this recipe using chicken breasts can be found at Linda Sue's site

although my SO loved the garlic chicken I made using the original recipe.. he probably would not eat chicken breasts. he loves to pick it off the bone and eat it over a few days.. to sit down and eat a dish just isnt happening. i usually dont get much if any unless I steal some (for chicken salad or whatever). I dont think I used 40 cloves.. I just used whatever was left on 3/4 of a bulb.

I loved the stock/fatty goodness that was left in the bottom of the dish.. just poured it back into a mason jar! Heart
