Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken legs and thighs
- 4 large heads of garlic (more if small)
- 2 teaspoons olive or canola oil
- 1/2 cup dry wine (substitute broth, tomato juice or water)
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, or 2 teaspoons dried 
 
This sounds like a lot of garlic, but it becomes so sweet and mellow with baking that you may well
wish there were more!
 
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Salt and pepper chicken and arrange in an oven-proof pan or
    dish in a single layer.
  • Take a thin slice off the top of each garlic head, but do not separate
    into individual cloves. Brush cut tops with oil and tuck garlic heads in around chicken pieces.
    Pour wine over the chicken. Arrange rosemary on top.
  • Cover with lid or foil and bake for 45
    minutes. Remove cover and continue to bake until chicken is very tender and most of the liquid has
    evaporated, 15 - 30 minutes more. Add water, if pan is dry or nearly dry.
  • Serve hot with pan
    juices spooned over and garlic heads on the side, so each diner can squeeze garlic pulp onto

1

chicken. Good with rice, polenta or mashed potatoes.
