20 to 25 Garlic Cloves Whole, adjust amount based on preference.
1 bunch Fresh Thyme Can substitute with dried thyme (1 tsp).

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line your casserole dish with heavy-duty foil.
Layer the sliced shallots and half of the whole garlic cloves in the dish. Add fresh thyme and rosemary.
Drizzle the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper, placing it skin-side up over the base.
Pour chicken broth and white wine around the chicken, avoiding pouring directly over the skin.
Roast uncovered for about 1 hour or until the skin is golden and the internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and spoon pan juices over the chicken before serving.
