1 Garlic clove -- peeled and split
40 Garlic cloves -- unpeeled
3/4 cup Dry white wine

Salt -- to taste

1/2 cup Whipping cream
Cooked garlic cloves from the above -- - (all 40)


Recipe

Pat the chicken dry. Rub inside and out with one split clove of garlic. Lightly salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Place chicken on a roasting rack in a baking pan and arrange cloves of garlic around in the pan. Place in the oven and reduce heat to 350ºF. Bake 20 minutes and then pour wine over the chicken. Baste again in 10 minutes and again 10 minutes later. Roast a total of one hour. You may wish to bake your chicken longer. My friends serve the chicken on a platter with the garlic on the side. In this way you can squirt the cooked garlic cloves onto bread, rolls or potatoes. Or you can make the following sauce.

For The Sauce: Put the chicken stock in a small saucepan and add the cream. As this is heating, squirt all of the garlic cloves into the sauce, discarding the peels. Simmer for a few minutes. Correct the seasoning with salt and pepper and enjoy the sauce on the chicken.
