  • Crisp up the chicken skin by increasing the oven temperature for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • The smell of this dish is incredible.
  • 40 garlic cloves are not too many; it's perfection, you have to try it.
  • The garlic becomes sweet and mellow and helps create a lovely sauce at the end
