Really Garlicky Chicken

Really Garlicky Chicken


1. Preheat the oven to 350°F

2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy-based flame-proof casserole dish. Add the chopped onions and celery and cook for a few minutes until just beginning to soften.

3. Add half the herbs and place the chicken on top.

4. Scatter the garlic cloves around the chicken. Don't worry about peeling 40 garlic cloves, part of the fun of eating this dish is squishing the juicy cloves from the skins as you are eating.

5. Add the pared lemon rind and squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken.

6. Pour in the wine and the rest of the olive oil. Scatter over the remaining herbs and season with salt and pepper.

7. Cover the casserole dish and cook in the oven for 1 hour.

8. Uncover and cook for a further 20 minutes to brown the chicken.

9. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes with the garlicky juices poured over the top.
