¼ to ½ pound garlic (4 small or 2 large heads), cloves separated and peeled

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the rack in the lowest slots.

Rinse the chicken thighs, shake dry and lightly salt and pepper them.

Put half the thighs in one layer in a heavy casserole with a lid. Sprinkle with half the garlic cloves, half the olive oil and half the parsley. Repeat, making another layer with the remaining ingredients.
- Step 4
Cover the chicken with a piece of waxed paper, and put on the lid.

Wax paper??
This is a hit. The chicken and juices are delicious, and can be served over rice or mashed potatoes instead of or in addition to the crusty bread. Please note that there's no time indication at the top of this recipe but it takes about 50 minutes.
