Provencal Garlic Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 roasting chicken
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
40 -50 garlic cloves, unpeeled
4 -5 carrots, cut into thick julienne
2 -3 red onions, cut into chunks
5 -6 new potatoes, cut in half
1 leek, cut into sections
2 -3 celery ribs
10 green beans (optional or a bunch of Swiss chard)
1 pint of good dry white wine
1 cup olive oil
1 bunch fresh sage
rosemary
thyme
parsley
10 juniper berries (optional)
2 tablespoons plain white flour

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In your Dutch oven or cast iron pot (with lid), lay the vegetables, the garlic. Place your bird on top and pour the white wine over the chicken, then the oil.
Seal the lid with a mixture of flour and water, and bake for 90 minutes. When done, remove from oven and allow your pot/Ducth oven to sit still for a good fifteen minutes! Don't peak, it's all good. Serve with country crusty bread and a good, young Shiraz.
