Spanish-style Garlic Chicken

4 serving

  • 1 whole free-range chicken cut into pieces (or 4 drumsticks and 4 thighs)

  • 10 crushed frozen GarlIT garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon
  • dry white wine for deglazing
  • extra virgin olive oil as needed
  • freshly ground salt and black pepper
  • thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish

There’s a moment in the kitchen when the oil sizzles and the garlic starts telling its story. It’s the scent of home, of slow Sundays, of Mediterranean memories that never fade. This Spanish-style garlic chicken is a simple dish with a soulful heart — and the true star is GarlIT garlic, bold yet balanced, ready to elevate every bite.
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and add the crushed GarlIT garlic cloves. Let them release their aroma, then remove and set them aside — they’ve already worked their magic. Sear the chicken over high heat, then deglaze with white wine. Return the garlic to the pan, lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, checking that the meat stays tender and juicy. Once ready, plate the chicken, drizzle with the remaining lemon juice, sprinkle with fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Serve hot — and from the heart.
