Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic

Roasted garlic has a lovely sweet, mellow taste. This recipe is best made the classic way, which involves hermetically sealing the casserole dish (Dutch oven) with a strip of paste made from flour and water. This locks in the flavour of the garlic and gives the dish its distinctive character. All you need as accompaniments are some baby roasted potatoes and buttered spinach.
