This is one of my favorite recipes. I ususally use chicken thighs or leg quarters instead of a whole cut up chicken though, but that's mostly because I prefer dark meat. My mom complains that it's too oily, but what I do is drain the oil off when the chicken is done and use it for other things. The oil ends up infused with chicken/garlic/thyme flavor. It's great for sauteing veggies in. The best part of this recipe might be smooshing the garlic cloves onto crusty French bread.

Me personally did not like this recipe at all. I followed the recipe to the exact and just didn't like the flavor. I won't be making this dish anymore!
