40 Cloves Garlic Chicken
40 Cloves Garlic Chicken is a roasted dish featuring chicken pieces browned and baked with a large quantity of garlic cloves, white vermouth, and chicken broth. The garlic softens and mellows while infusing the broth and chicken, creating a rich, aromatic sauce with herbal accent from tarragon. The chicken is tender with a golden skin, complemented by lightly mashed garlic pieces.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pounds chicken cut into 8 pieces
- salt
- black pepper
- 40 garlic peeled and hardcore end removed, cloves
- ½ cup Extra Dry Vermouth
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon tarragon
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F
- Heat oil in a 6 quarts Dutch oven pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, all sides. Add to pot and cook undisturbed until skin is golden brown, and you can turn the pieces over with no difficulties. Turn only once.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, 8”x8” dish, set aside.
- Add garlic to the pot and cook until browned in some spots, about 5 minutes. Add vermouth and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot, until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Transfer half the garlic cloves to the baking dish. Mash the remaining garlic cloves into stock and pour over the chicken.
