I bought a humongous bag of garlic at Costco. I like garlic but what was I thinking? That's a lot of garlic.
I don't buy whole chickens too often. We usually go for the boneless or maybe the split breasts. But, I needed a chicken wing for my daughters science experiment. She had to disect and write up a lab for a chicken wing. Ewwwww. I don't like dealing with raw meat let alone cutting and disecting it!
So, we just bought a whole cut up chicken, did the experiment with the wings and ate the rest. So - whole bag of garlic + chicken = garlic chicken.
This turned out delicious. The garlic pieces were sweet and tasty. The chicken was super tender and practically fell off the bone.
Of course, I still have a ton of garlic left...

ReplyDeleteI have had this recipe in my collection for a long time and have never made it. I too love garlic and I must say, that is a LOT of garlic!! Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteRoasting the garlic with olive oil might be a good way to get rid of some.
Wow - that is a lot of garlic! I've made that dish before, but not in the crock pot - I'll have to try that next time.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Debbi! :D
Now that's my kind of bag o' garlic! The chicken looks great! Have a wonderful holiday!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow....LOVE garlic, love chicken, love things in the slow cooker, so this is a "bookmarker" for sure!!! (wow....science experiments have sure changed since I was a kid!! :) ) VERY happy holidays to you and your family. I'm looking forward to more of your posts and recipes throughout the new year!!
ReplyDeleteI have made this twice and my family loves it!! In fact, they requested it for Christmas dinner,lol. No more turkey for us this year,lol.
ReplyDeleteOh holy cow!!! 3 lbs. of garlic!? That IS a lot! I've seen 40 clove chicken, but never made it. I like that yours is in the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. what else to use up the garlic with? Maybe you could roast a bunch of the heads and keep them in the fridge in a jar? Oh and I bet you could probably mince a bunch and store it in a jar with a little bit of olive oil too? Good luck using it all up!!!
Oh and PS Merry Christmas!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the hubby would love this one. He loves garlic. I also have a thing for cutting up a whole chicken, so do you think chicken breasts would work??
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of garlic! Pizza soup from Monday looks great, too.
ReplyDeleteI love garlic chicken...but 40 cloves...wow...that's something!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

Dissecting a raw chicken wing sounds gross (and not very sanitary... weird request from a teacher), but this chicken sounds great! I am a big fan of garlic... I am definitely making this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. Think it's my plan for next weekend. I'm home on Friday and will put this into the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteWOW these look amazing-Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor told me about this recipe not long ago and I thought she was kidding about using that much garlic. Guess not! I think I may have to give this one a try. Thanks for sharing it. Stopping by from Eat at Home.

ReplyDeleteClove oil is aphrodisiac in nature and hence serves as an excellent stress reliever. It has a stimulating effect on the mind and removes mental exhaustion and fatigue. When taken internally, in appropriate amounts, it refreshes the mind. Clove oil also induces sleep and is helpful to insomnia patients. It is useful for treating mental problems such as loss of memory, depression and anxiety.
ReplyDeleteClove oil when mixed with salt, and applied on the forehead, gives a cooling effect and helps in getting relief from headache.
The clove tree is an evergreen that grows to a height ranging from 8–12 m, having large leaves and sanguine flowers in numerous groups of terminal clusters. The flower buds are at first of a pale color and gradually become green, after which they develop into a bright red, when they are ready for collecting. Cloves are harvested when 1.5–2 cm long, and consist of a long calyx, terminating in four spreading sepals, and four unopened petals which form a small ball in the center.
Thanks
