This was absolutely delish!!!!! I made it last weekend and could not believe how yummy it was. I served mine over a bed of mashed potatoes (cooked with chicken broth and with sauteed onions mixed in) and baked yellow squash with Parmesan and olive oil on the side. My husband and son were two happy campers and I will be making this again for sure!

Regarding the breasts drying out, there is a solution. Cook the chicken breast side down. I’ve been doing this with my turkeys for years. The breast stays beautifully moist. It’s not quite as perky if you’re carving at the table but who cares as long as it tastes good?

Thanks everyone! Its nice to see so many other garlic lovers out there :) Wendy – You could certainly use a whole chicken, most 40 clove chicken recipes actually call for a whole chicken, I just prefer the drumsticks and thighs. Let me know how it turns out in the crock pot, I’ve never tried that before.

Wow garlic is my favorite basic ingredient. I put them in everything, seriously. If a recipe calls for 2 cloves garlic, I use 4. :) This looks simply delicious!

wow that is a lot of garlic but can’t go wrong with that since garlic is practically good for you. The chicken alone looks yummy

I keep hearing about 40 clove chicken, your version sounds delish! I wonder if I could use a whole chicken if I do it in a crock pot? I have no patience for baking whole chickens either, but I do like the flavor better.
