Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic (Recipe)

James Beard Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic
This recipe was given to me the a friend who first introduced me to this dish. It is easier the other recipes on this page because the chicken is not browned before baking. The recipe includes large amount of olive oil compared to the other recipes on this page but you need to add all of it to get the texture and flavor James bear intended. The sauce includes whole garlic cloves, thinly sliced celery, tarragon, vermouth, and a dash of nutmeg. Even if this recipe seems strange, and even if you don't care for cooked celery, try making it as-is the first time. You will probably be pleasantly surprised! I love it that this recipe includes the footnote: "Feel free to use additional garlic cloves if you wish".
