Every time I make this, Rick is usually out doing things outside and as soon as he comes in he takes the deepest breath and always says “Yeesss!” That’s when I know I’m making something good! In our house, we measure garlic with our hearts. A recipe calls for 1 clove of garlic? We add 5! So this 40 Clove Garlic Chicken is right up our alley! I think most people are surprised how cooking the garlic down allows for a mellow smooth flavor. Even non garlic lovers, love this!

How to Make 40 Clove Garlic Chicken
First, clean your chicken thighs and pat dry. Next, season with some kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Then, begin heating a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add butter. Allow butter to melt. Place chicken into pan skin side down and allow to cook for approximately 5 minutes. Flip the thighs and allow to cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove the thighs from the pan and set aside – make sure to use a bowl of plate with sides to collect the juices. Next, add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the garlic begins to soften. Do not leave the garlic unattended as it can burn if not stirred often enough. Then, add the chicken stock and white wine to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan – they make for some additional incredible flavor to this 40 Clove Garlic Chicken. Next, add the chicken back to the pan (juices included). Sprinkle the chicken with the thyme and rosemary. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan and cook on low for 30 minutes.
When 30 minutes is over, please ensure that the cooked temperature is 160°F (71°C). Next, mix the cornstarch with a quarter cup of cold water (or chicken stock) and stir until well combined. Gradually add to the pan liquid and stir until sauce is thickened. If the sauce is too thick, gradually thin out with more water or chicken stock (usually about 1/4 cup of additional liquid). If you like your sauce a little creamier, add a tablespoon of heavy cream. This is totally optional, but ups for coziness of this meal just a tiny bit! Once sauce has thickened and at your desired consistency, remove from heat and serve this Garlic Chicken with your side of choice!
Why so much Garlic?
I know. It sounds like an overwhelming amount of garlic. The name says it all – 40 Clove Garlic Chicken. First, who wants to peel all that garlic? Certainly not me. You’ll be happy to know that I get a bag of pre-peeled garlic from my local major grocery store. It has 43 cloves of garlic in it! Makes life so much easier! But, if you’re a rebel and like peeling garlic, it’s typically right around 3 whole heads of garlic.
Garlic has this incredible tendency to develop a soft, smooth, sweetness when it has the time and ability to cook down. It’s very similar to roasted garlic (yes, please!). We love to smear the cooked garlic over some bread along with the rest of the meal. It literally spreads better than butter. Who knew, right?!

I promise that this amount of garlic is not bitter or overbearing in anyway. It smells divine while cooking and as I said above, it develops a sweetness to it that enhances the overall flavor of the chicken. This dish will please the whole family!
What to serve with this Garlic Chicken?
You really can serve this 40 Clove Garlic Chicken with almost anything.
- Pasta – I’d suggest a linguini or fettuccini
- Rice
- Mashed Potatoes
- Mashed Cauliflower

During cooking, the garlic will have softened and sweetened than you can feel free to eat the cloves right along side the chicken!
