Directions
Wrap skinned chicken with bacon and secure with toothpick. In a large pan, heat the garlic cloves in olive oil. Do not brown the cloves, but heat them enough to impart their flavor into the oil. Remove garlic cloves and save. Rub chicken with salt and pepper and sear chicken in olive oil until golden brown. Stir in the sliced onions and 2 of the garlic cloves. Cover pan and place in 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Serve with R/G Sauce.
R/G SAUCE:
Heat garlic puree gently in ⅓ cup olive oil in pan (do not brown). Add 2 tbsp of your favorite liquor (optional). Stir until melted, 1 crumbled wedge of Roquefort cheese. Skim fat, and strain the pan juices of the bacon and chicken, and add to the sauce. Mix well while reheating. Serve sauce with the baked chicken and enjoy! Jeff Viets
