This skillet version of a classic French oven-braised roast chicken is delicious with green beans and buttermilk mashed potatoes or a whole grain baguette. To ease the chore of peeling 40 cloves of garlic, lay them in groups of 4 on a cutting board and press down with the flat side of a chef's knife to loosen the skins.

Ingredients
Method
In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken all over. Transfer to plate.
Drain fat from pan; fry garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, pepper and salt over medium heat until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Return chicken and any juices to pan; cover and simmer, turning once, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and garlic is softened, about 25 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate until cold. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month.) Sprinkle with parsley.
