Garlic Chicken

5/5. Delicious and so easy. Used boneless/skinless thighs seasoned generously with salt and pepper. Quadrupled the liquids except for Cognac ( doubled that). Simmered covered on stove top for an hour then thickened sauce at end with cornstarch. Served with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. This recipe is a keeper!

Perfect for everyday rush.

That's not the point, the recipe has less than a cup of liquid to begin with and then you're instructed to reduce to a cup. Either the recipe was printed incorrectly or something is wrong.

Boiling is how you reduce it. You let it boil, uncovered, and the liquid will evaporate. Let it go until you have about a cup remaining. 

Same with hard boiled eggs. After cooking and cooling in cold water,put cover back on pot and shake vigorously.The eggs are mostly peeled and the shells remain slide off.

Made this tonight and I was not a fan. The chicken was tender but dry. It was also relatively flavorless. More like soup than roasted chicken. I won't make this again.

This was really tender and flavorful chicken though I did leave the skin on tonight. We served it with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Great comfort food on a cold winter's night. The garlic cloves came out really good - would be great spread on some crusty bread.

I haven't made this yet, although it sounds good and I am going to try it. With that being said, I was reading the recipe and I noticed it calls for 1/2 cup and 5 tablespoons of liquid. In the instructions it tell you to reduce the liquid to one ( 1 ) cup. How can this be done? Am I not reading something wrong? I'd like to know so when I do make it I won't mess up the recipe.

This was tasty and tender. I used thighs and drumsticks instead of the chicken breast halves, though. I will definitely make this again, and I plan to let my family and friends know about it, too.

Just delicious. Makes a lovely sauce for the rice. Garlic does not overwhelm. I left out the cognac and the thyme (we aren't fond of thyme) and this was still an excellent recipe. An absolute keeper!

This was really good. The only difference I would make next time is actually used chicken pieces, I used boneless skinless breasts because it was what I had. Although the chicken was very tender it was a little dry. I took the garlic out of the pot and mashed it with my potatos which made a really nice side dish. I served this with a green salad, it was a great satisfying yet healthy dinner.

So easy and so delicious! Halved the recipe and used boneless thighs instead. The chicken fell apart and the garlic wasn't overkill, but had to add more salt.

This is so easy and very good. Dealing with the garlic aftertaste later is a bit unpleasant, but that's the inevitable consequence of eating garlic.

Delicious and easy- my kind of recipe! I made pretty much as written but used b/s chicken breast instead of whole chicken and substituted bourbon for the cognac. It was delicious and my house smelled wonderful. I used about 2.5 chicken breast and about 2.5 whole heads of garlic (which fed our family of 4- 2 adults, a 5 and 3 year old) with a little left over. Next time If I plan in advance I'll buy the peeled garlic but it wasn't that bad. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the garlic pieces just spread with a knife. Everyone liked this dish and asked to have it again. It made soccer practice night easy on me too!

Delicious! I'll definitely make this again!

This turned out amazing!!!! My husband loved it! The meat is falling off the bone... will make again very soon

The garlic was amazing - added some of it to our mashed potatoes but the chicken needed a little something more. Very easy for a weeknight dinner.

Delicious! The garlic is so flavorful and yummy. When I made it I didn't feel like cutting up a whole chicken, so I just used boneless chicken thighs. It worked quite well. I will totally make this recipe again.

Haven't tried recipe but thought I'd share how to peel a bulb (or cloves) of garlic stupid quick: Put it in a jar or two same-sized hard bowls (I don't know if silicone ones would work here) Shake the HECK out of it for like, 5 seconds or so (you'll find your groove) Pick the peeled cloves out Enjoy Garlic. Voila!

I made this for my friend's birthday dinner. It turned out yummy!!! Everyone enjoyed.

I made this last night. This chickens INCREDIBLY flavorful. Must love garlic! Also, I highly recommend if you can find pre-peeled cloves, you'll save yourself a LOT of time. lol Both my husband I will have this one again. Enjoy!
