For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a sprig of fresh rosemary or a few bay leaves to the pot along with the garlic. Don't be afraid of the amount of garlic! Roasting mellows its flavor, making it sweet and almost creamy. Serve the roasted garlic cloves alongside the chicken – they are delicious spread on crusty bread. If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a regular roasting pan, but make sure to cover it tightly with foil to trap the moisture.
