Awesome Baked Garlic Chicken Recipes

ROBUST GARLIC BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Zest the lemon. Slice remaining lemon into quarters and place to the side. With hand mixer combine butter, lemon zest, minced garlic and 1/4 cup chopped rosemary.
• Take your hand and slide it between the skin and the meat on the breast, as well as loosening the 'pockets' between the leg and wing joints. Scoop some of the rosemary butter mixture onto your fingers and begin to stuff into the 'pockets' on the breast, leg, wings, etc. (Save approximately 1/4 of the rosemary butter mixture and rub on the inside of the chicken.)
• Season the cavity of the chicken with the salt, pepper and paprika. Add the quartered lemon, rosemary sprigs and sliced garlic to the chicken cavity. Bind the legs with culinary twine and tuck the wings into the leg joints to secure.
• Place the chicken breast up onto the roasting rack and into the oven. Roast for approximately 50 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Remove the 'stuffing', carve and serve.

BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
• Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

• Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a separate shallow bowl.
• Dip chicken breasts in the olive oil-garlic mixture using tongs; transfer to bread crumb mixture and turn to evenly coat. Transfer coated chicken to a shallow baking dish.

AWESOME BAKED GARLIC & CHICKEN

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• Chef's Tip: If you get a chance, you should brine the chicken. This will add additional flavor and moisture to the bird, and help to flavor the sauce.
• Add the chicken pieces to a bowl with the olive oil and thoroughly coat.
• Chef's Note: When I cut up a whole fryer, I separate the legs, the thighs, the wings, and the breasts. That should give you 8 pieces.
• Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat oven to 375f (190c).
• Add the celery, onions, potatoes, and tarragon to a large ovenproof pot.
• Chef's Note: This pot needs a nice tight-fitting lid.
• Add the chicken to the pot in a nice layer above the veggies.
• Add the vermouth, and the chicken stock.
• Season with some salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg.
• Chef's Tip: If you brined the chicken, you can skip using any salt in the seasoning.
• Add the garlic cloves by placing them around the chicken pieces
• Chef's Note: Separate the garlic from the bulb, but do not peel it. This will concentrate the flavors of the garlic, and make it a spread for your bread. If you've never spread baked garlic on a piece of homemade crusty bread, you haven't lived.
• Cover the pot with the lid.
• Chef's Tip: If your lid is not very tight, add a piece of foil to the top and then place the lid on top,
• Place in the preheated oven, and then bake for 90 minutes without opening the oven and peeking.
• Put the chicken in a nice serving dish (or go rustic and leave it in the pot).
• Let your guests grab (with tongs) a piece or two of the chicken, and spoon the juice over the top. And don't forget some of those garlic cloves. Have your guests squeeze the garlic paste onto some nice freshly baked, crusty bread, and then use it to sop up that wonderful sauce. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
