Crispy Roasted Garlic Chicken Maximized Living Maximized Living Blog.
This is yet another way to prepare and present chicken breasts. The flavors of the herb paste permeate the meat and makes for a great presentation.
Ingredients
3 large garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 chicken breast halves (bone-in with skin)
Preheat oven to 500°F with oven rack in upper third.
Mash garlic into a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in oregano, red-pepper flakes, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Cut a 2-inch-long slit, about 1 1/2 inches deep, in side of each breast half and spread 1/2 teaspoon garlic mixture into each pocket. Coat chicken with remaining garlic mixture.
Roast chicken, skin sides up, in a shallow baking pan until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
