This is a delicious meal with very little preparation, and very well priced (chicken quarters can be found for quite cheap). It is a juicy, succulent way to enjoy chicken.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken leg quarters (or one whole chicken if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
- 40 peeled cloves garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Loaf of french bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Toss with a 2 tablespoons olive oil and brown on both sides in a wide fry pan or skillet over high heat. Remove from heat, add oil, thyme, and garlic cloves. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove chicken from oven
- Turn oven onto broil. Slice french bread and lay out on cookie sheet. Baste olive oil from chicken pan on french bread and broil until brown.
- Garlic cloves can then be spread (like butter) onto broiled french bread. It sounds scary, but it is delicious!
