Let’s talk garlic. No, I’m not going to talk about how garlic is great for your health, facilitating detoxification, acting as a powerful antioxidant, stimulating immune responses and reducing inflammation! Let’s only talk about how garlic makes everything taste better and how I buy around 4 heads a week! Yes, I use garlic in everything, for example: rice, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, garlic bread, guacamole, beans, salad dressing, pizza (yes, there’s such a thing as a garlic pizza!), homemade chips (I infuse the frying oil with garlic) and, of course, chicken!
So can you imagine my happiness when I first heard of this dish called Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic? I was actually also a little mad I hadn’t heard about it sooner, but it just isn’t very popular in Brazil. (We do have a filet mignon full of garlic, though… But that will happen on the blog sometime in the future!).
If you are a little intimidated by the “40 cloves” part, don’t be! I promise it is not as overpowering as it sounds. The garlic infuses the chicken with all this amazing sweet pungent flavor and gets all caramelized to the point that is delicious on its own. But you absolutely don’t have to eat the garlic! Leave it for the brave (yeah, that would be me!), but do eat the tasty, moist, smelling like you wouldn’t believe, buttery chicken!
