I was looking for a recipe for the garlic sauce served at the Mediterranean restaurants we go to and became hooked on several dishes. This is just one of the many dishes. Of course any recipe calling for 1 c of garlic would capture my attention! I usually serve this with couscous. This is the original recipe from dedemed.com. At 30 mins,the chicken is tender,but I like it falling off the bone,I cook it at least 1 hour.
