CHICKEN WITH GARLIC

I suggest a "Poulet à l'ail" ("Chicken with garlic"). It is very simple to prepare.
You need a large terrine to cook it (large enough to take a whole chicken !).

Ingredients for 4 to 6 persons :

- 1 chicken (at least 2 kgs / 4,5 lb) - 40 garlic cloves - one glass of olive oil
(20 cl)
- salt & pepper - a bit of flour (to seal the terrine)


- Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 400°F

- Pour the glass of olive oil and 1 glass of water in the terrine

- Separate the garlic cloves from their head, but do not peel them

- Salt and pepper the chicken then put it in the terrine ; add the garlic cloves

- Mix a bit of flour and water until you obtain a sort of "glue" with which
you must "seal" the lid on the terrine (just apply a bit of "glue" all around to the border and put the lid on).

- Bake in oven for 2 hours

Serve this dish with sautéed potatoes ; you can also make some toasts on which you can mash the cloves to taste them (they are not strong because they baked for 2 hours).
