Instructions

Peel the garlic. Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the peeled garlic on the bottom of a baking dish.
Rub the chicken all over with salt, ground allspice, and chicken spices. Massage for about 1-2 minutes to distribute the seasonings well.
Place the chicken on top of the garlic in the baking dish.
Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 60 minutes. Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 15 minutes.
The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) at the thickest part of the thigh, not touching bone. Remove from the oven, place on a plate, and arrange the roasted garlic on the sides.

Bon Appetit!
