CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES GARLIC 
1 chicken, cut up, about 4 lbs.
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. + 1 tbsp. olive oil, divided
Salt & pepper
40 cloves garlic, unpeeled (3 bulbs)
1/2 c. white wine
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. rosemary
1/2 tsp. sage
4 med. bay leaves

Remove skin, either way it's good. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in large Dutch oven; brown chicken 5 minutes each side. Season with salt and pepper, drain on paper towels. Pour off all fat. Scatter garlic on bottom of pan; place chicken pieces over garlic. Pour wine and 1/4 cup oil over chicken, sprinkle with herbs, add bay leaf. Cover tightly with foil then with cover of pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. If you thinly slice a loaf of French bread and toast slices on cookie sheet, when you serve chicken, you can squeeze garlic out on toast. Do try this, this is soooo good!
