Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven To 375
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C.)
Season Generously With Salt And Black Pepper
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat The Olive Oil Over Medium-High Heat
In a large, oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Brown the chicken pieces in batches, skin-side down first, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
Heat To Medium
Reduce heat to medium. Add the unpeeled garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour In The White Wine And Chicken Broth
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer.
Return The Browned Chicken Pieces To The Pot
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot, nestling them among the garlic cloves. Cover the Dutch oven tightly with its lid.
Transfer The Covered Pot To The Preheated Oven
Transfer the covered pot to the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour.
Remove The Lid And Continue To Roast For Another
After 1 hour, remove the lid and continue to roast for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C at the thickest part of the thigh) and the sauce has thickened slightly. The garlic cloves should be very soft and easily squeezed from their skins.
Remove The Chicken And Garlic From The Pot
Carefully remove the chicken and garlic from the pot. If desired, skim any excess fat from the sauce. You can also mash some of the roasted garlic into the sauce for extra creaminess.
Garnished With Fresh Chopped Parsley
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley, alongside the roasted garlic cloves. Encourage guests to squeeze the softened garlic onto their chicken or bread.
