Cooking

Recipe source: my cookbook on French cooking.

The recipe used fresh thyme and rosemary. Very handy to have on the balcony in small pots of different herbs!

Clear the 40 garlic cloves (from the cover shell of the husk they are not cleanable). Rinse and dry the teeth. Cut off leaves from 6 sprigs of fresh thyme 2-3 sprigs of rosemary (length 10-15 cm). Two more branches will be needed in the future to decorate the dish.

Chicken wash. Dry with paper towel. RUB a mixture of olive oil (2 tablespoons), salt, pepper (black). In the cavity of the chicken to lay 6 cloves of garlic, a small bunch of parsley, celery, a small part of the total - rosemary, thyme.

Place the chicken in a ceramic dish ( or roaster). Poderem wings under back of chicken and legs will podvigam together. On the chicken when buying was already tight, a special elastic, I used it again for baking in the oven

Sprinkle rest of garlic, coarsely chopped carrot, sliced into 4 pieces onions, herbs, pour a glass of white wine.

Close the baking dish with a lid and place in preheated oven at T 200* for 1 hour and 20 minutes. This is enough time that the chicken came before ready, but you can check the readiness with a knife. If the cut stands out juices, then cooking must continue.

Get the form from the oven ready chicken cut into serving pieces. The resulting juice is poured into the pan through a colander and ovarium to a thick sauce.

Pour the sauce over the chicken.

Baked garlic selected, cleaned from the husk, mash fork to a smooth paste. In the same hot oven bake the baguette slices (I did not have it, and I baked slices of bread). On the baguette slices a layer of garlic paste, and they are served on soft, flavorful cookie.

I wish you all a pleasant appetite!
