Coq Pui a la Pfui
This is one of my favorite chicken recipes, but it takes a bit of daring
the first time you try it.
Coq Pui a la Pfui (40-garlic Chicken)
40 cloves garlic
1 3-5 pound chicken
Preheat oven to 350F. Peel garlic cloves, and place inside and around
chicken. Cook in oven 20-25 min per pound, basting frequently. Open
windows and eat.
Even if you are not a garlic freak, this is a very tasty dish. The
garlics mellow out nicely when they bake, and the chicken meat gets a
nice garlic flavor. The garlics may be eaten as they are, or are very
good spread on bread. Your landlord might not like it if he lives
upstairs.
There are several ways to test a chicken for done-ness. First, the
chicken producer might have done you the favor of putting a
heat-sensitive indicator in the breast (Frank Perdue does this on the
east coast). Second, you can prick the thigh and see if the juice runs
clear. Third, you may wiggle the drumstick; when the chicken is ready,
it will feel loose. This last method is nice because the more done it
is, the looser the drumstick is, so it can be calibrated to your
personal tastes.
