Please don't be put off by the amount of garlic here folks! I made this for my husband and 2 sons, who are not that crazy about garlic, and they all loved this. I kept my chicken whole and baked it in an oven cooking bag. It turned out perfectly. The house smelled so good! And the juices made a great gravy with a roasted garlic flavor.
