Chicken with Garlic

Ingredients:

1 chicken (at least 2 kg. (4 to5 lbs.)
40 cloves garlic
one glass of olive oil
salt & pepper
a bit of flour (to seal the terrine)

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 400 deg. F (200 deg. C). 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). Makes 6 servings.
