    My two-year old daughter loved this chicken. For the past year, we really have to force her to eat meat of any type, but she was asking for more of this all on her own. My husband and I thought it was pretty good, and probably something you would find in a restaurant. I'll make it again, but next time I'll be buying the pre-peeled garlic cloves.

    I worked all day. Got home and made this chicken. Absolutely delicious. I did put my chicken breasts upside down in the oil, and they weren't dry at all.

    Five stars for out-of-this-world flavor with minimal effort. This kind of dish really inspires confidence!

    We used all wings, extra fresh thyme, and lemon juice. I'm not sure there has been a more heavenly scent in this kitchen.

    Wonderful flavor that's very mild and not overpowering. Chicken was so tender it fell right off the bone. Such an easy dinner with little preparation.

    Fabulous! I have cooked this dish six or seven times, following the recipe as written. I always buy a small tub of pre-peeled garlic especially for this recipe (what a time saver. I am always looking for chicken recipes that my husband might enjoy because I love chicken and he does not. Trying this the first time felt risky, because my husband is also not crazy about garlic. I am so glad I cooked this because we both loved it. The garlic mellows in the oven and makes a delicious "goo" in the bottom of the pan. The chicken is very moist. Thank you Alton, for a flavorful and easy dish.

    This produces really moist, flavorful chicken. I used pre-peeled garlic cloves, MUCH easier. I also used more cloves then the recipe asked for. Added about 1/4 cup of white wine and fresh lemon juice. I didn't have any fresh thyme so I used dried. For the salt I used kosher. The only thing is the chicken was almost sweet. I was expecting a very strong garlic taste but it was sweet instead. That's not a bad thing, it was very good. But I think I would have enjoyed a bit more garlic flavor.

    This was one of the most delicious meals I have ever made; both my husband & son raved about it. I would only question why it is listed as an intermediate level dish, because the most difficult part was peeling the garlic. It was so easy & so delish! Will definitely prepare this again.

    This recipe produced very tender and flavorful chicken, but I didn't get the traditional garlic taste. There was a very nice sweet flavor, but it wasn't what I expected. Have others encountered this issue as well, or was I doing something wrong?
