Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 whole chicken 40 cloves garlic ¼ cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon dried thyme ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter with olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the Dutch oven and brown on all sides in butter and oil, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a cutting board. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of liquid from the pot; stir garlic cloves into the reserved liquid. Return chicken to the pot; sprinkle water, lemon juice, salt, thyme, and black pepper over the chicken; cover tightly. Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing. I Made It Print 126 home cooks made it!
