Slow-Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
1 chicken (about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces
1 head garlic, separated into unpeeled cloves
2 unwaxed lemons, cut into chunky eighths
Small handful fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
10 tablespoons white wine
Black pepper
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Put the chicken pieces into a roasting pan and add the garlic cloves, lemon chunks and the thyme; just roughly pull the leaves off the stalks, leaving some intact for strewing over later. Add the oil and, using your hands, mix everything together, then spread the mixture out, making sure all the chicken pieces are skin-side up.
Sprinkle over the white wine and grind on some pepper, then cover tightly with foil and put in the oven to cook, at flavor-intensifyingly low heat, for 2 hours. Remove the foil from the roasting pan, and turn up the oven to 400 degrees. Cook the uncovered chicken for another 30 to 45 minutes, by which time the skin on the meat will have turned golden brown and the lemons will have begun to scorch and caramelize at the edges. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
