11. Carve chicken, while heating up french bread (if you like your bread warmed).

12. Serve chicken pieces and french bread, with roasted garlic cloves.

13. Squeeze roasted garlic (which will squeeze nicely right out of the skins) onto slices of french bread and/or onto chicken pieces, as you eat it (we love to squeeze garlic right onto our chicken, as well as onto the bread).
