Pot-Roast Chicken with 40 Garlic Cloves

One of my favourite ways of cooking chicken is to pot-roast it with as much garlic as you can tuck into the pot with the bird. The end result is not at all as overpowering as the amount of garlic might suggest. And the carcass makes a wonderfully flavoured chicken and garlic broth for the next day. Of course, you do not have to use exactly 40 cloves of garlic, 20 or 30 will do – or 60!
