    I've made this recipe along with a similar recipe from his book "I'm Just Here for the Food" (great book!. The other recipe calls for garlic (not nearly as much, shallots, parsley and thyme. I also add rosemary. To peel the garlic, I just smash it with a chefs knife and pick the garlic out. It doesn't need to be whole for the recipe to work. This is a fantastic, easy, quick to prepare recipe; my kids and my husband LOVE it!

    Seemed like the chicken was a little dry...Reduce the amount of thyme and you will be fine...would suggest using basil instead. First time I cooked the recipe it did not turn out as good as it smelled. I will try again and not cook it as long and get rid of the thyme....

    This recipe was easy to prepare and very tasty. The chicken was falling off the bones and very moist, however, there was just too much garlic!

    The chicken was falling-off-the-bone tender. The garlic smell wasn't off-putting like you would think it would be. The hardest part of this recipe is peeling the 40 cloves! Next time I might cut down on the oil a little bit, but other than that it was FANTASTIC!!!

    This was super easy to make and tasted great! I cut the recipe down for two people with no problems, and with less chicken it only took around 45 minutes to cook.
    The roasted garlic smell is really strong, and it will linger for the rest of the night (which I think is a good thing.

    The chicken was great, we loved it. But there has GOT to be an easier way to peel 40 cloves of garlic. The prep time listed could not possibly have included peeling time...

    This is super easy and delicious, besides having to peel the garlic cloves. I used dried thyme because my market was out of fresh and we made garlic toast with the oil and roasted garlic. We loved it and will make it again!
