Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic 

Source: The New James Beard 1989

A Provençal recipe I taught for years in my classes-and which never failed to astonish the students. They couldn't believe we would use forty garlic cloves, but the slow braising softens the garlic to a lovely buttery consistency and delicate flavor, like the garlic purée on page 534.

Makes 8 servings 

2/3 cups oil

8 chicken drumsticks and thighs (or use 16 drumsticks or 16 thighs)

4 ribs celery, cut in long strips

2 medium-size onions, chopped

6 sprigs parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

(or 1 teaspoon dried)

1/2 cup dry vermouth

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Grated nutmeg

40 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Put the oil in a shallow dish, add the chicken pieces, and turn them to coat all sides evenly with the oil. Cover the bottom of a heavy 6-quart casserole with a mixture of the celery and onion, add the parsley and tarragon, and lay the chicken pieces on top. Pour the vermouth over them, sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and a dash or two of nutmeg, and tuck the garlic cloves around and between the chicken pieces. Cover the top of the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and then the lid (this creates an airtight seal removing the cover. so the steam does not escape). Bake in a 375° oven for 1 1/2 hours, without removing the lid. 

Serve the chicken, pan juices, and whole garlic cloves with thin slices of heated French bread or hot toast. The garlic should be squeezed from the root end of its papery husk onto the bread or toast, spread like butter, and eaten with the chicken.

Who are these two people? Julia Childs and her husband, Paul, of course!! Julia Child was fearless at pursuing what she loved most - cooking, teaching, and eating! Like so many women of her generation, she did it despite no one taking her seriously. Her book publisher famously told her editor, “If you can sell a book with that title, I'll eat my hat!” And yet, Mastering the Art of French Cooking is still in print 62 yers later! And the local TV station which first aired her show, The French Chef, didn’t understand why people would tune in to watch anyone cook, but she went on to have a long, celebrated television career. So many of us in the cookbook world stand on her brave shoulders and so today of all days I thank her for her courage - and also for her Beef Bourguignon!

Pollo Perfecto - how to make the perfect roast chicken!!! I have tried 8000 recipes and truly the best way to make the most perfect French Poulet Rôti is so much easier than you think. Dry bird with paper towels. Using my hands I spread olive oil all over the bird top and bottom. I season however I wish and stuff the cavity with lemons and garlic. That’s literally it! Put in an ovenproof pan - I use a cast iron and place in a preheated oven at 425° for 20 minutes. After 20 min switch the direction of the handle from left to right so chicken cooks super evenly and cover with tin foil. Due this one more time (so at this point chicken has cooked for 60 minutes) and on the next turn remove the foil. Check the chicken after 10 more minutes and if the skin is burning replace tin foil for the last ten. It’s 80 minutes of cooking time for an approximately 4.5lb chicken but always check to make sure it’s throughly cooked. Carve and serve. People will think you slaved in the kitchen when it reality it was très facile!!! Side note - I don’t spachcock! I’ve tried and it just doesn’t add anything for the extra work, I’ll keep the chicken whole! . . . . . #chicken #roast #roastchicken #french #frenchcooking #chickenrecipes #chickendinner #chickens #frenchrecipe #cookingfrench #dairyfreedinner #top8allergenfree #top8free #top8 #dairyfree #dairyfreerecipes #dairyfreefood #milkfree #nomilk #sinleche #nadamoo #sinlactosa #lactosefree #nolactose #milksugar #foodallergies #foodporn #whatsfordinner #onmytable #frencheats (at Hoboken, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCIcHqu5f4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
