Introduction
This is my version on a classic recipe. Don't let the amount of garlic scare you, long cooking rends the garlic soft with a mellow flavor. Serve with crostini to soak up the garlicy oil and spread the buttery soft roasted garlic on.
Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut up, or 8 to 10  of your favorite pieces, with bones and skin.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup minced flat leaf parsley
1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary
1/2 cup dry white wine
Sea_salt
Freshly ground black pepper
40 large garlic_cloves
1/2 cup plus 3 Tbsps extra_virgin_olive_oil


Directions
Step: 1

Pre heat oven to 325 F
Peel the garlic and with the side of a chefs knife or the heel of your hand, give a quick smack to open up the cloves a bit and release the oils. This also makes the cloves easier to peel.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle chicken on all sides with salt and pepper.

Step: 2In a large, deep, oven proof skillet with a lid, heat the butter and 3 Tbsps of olive oil until very hot but not yet smoking.
Step: 3Add chicken, taking care to not crowd the pieces. Brown on all sides. Remove pan from the heat and add the rosemary, 1/4 cup pf the parsley and garlic cloves. Pour the 1/2 cup olive oil over all the chicken and garlic. Add a sprinkling of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cover the pan and place in preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Step: 4

Remove the  chicken and garlic cloves to a heated serving platter with a rim to hold the sauce. 

Place the pan with the oil back on high heat and add the white wine. Stir to scrape up any browned bits. Pour sauce over the chicken and garlic. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of minced parsley over all. Arrange the crostini around sides of  the platter.

This is great. So easy to make and tastes fantastic. I was worried that the sauce would be too greasy but i served it with rice and ciabatta bread, and they soaked it up perfectly, not at all greasy. This i'll be keeping the vampires away for a while though!!! :-)
