Ingredients:
8 chicken legs (cut into
1 drumsticks and thighs)
2/3 cup olive oil
4 celery ribs, sliced thin
6 sprigs parsley
1 tbsp tarragon
1/2 cup dry vermouth
2 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg
40 cloves of garlic, peeled
Instructions:
Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Put
the oil in a shallow dish or a plate and turn all the chicken pieces
in the oil to coat all sides. Lay the celery slices in the bottom of
a heavy 6-quart casserole with a tight fitting cover. Add the
parsley and tarragon. Lay the chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with
vermouth, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour the oil remaining
in the plate into the casserole. Toss in all garlic and sprinkle with
the remaining salt. Lay a piece of aluminum foil on top of the
casserole, to make a tight seal. Set on the casserole lid. Bake in a
375-degree oven for 1 1/2 hours without removing the lid. Serve with
hot toast or thin slices of French bread or pumpernickel, spread with
the softened buttery garlic cloves.
Servings: 8
