How to Prepare
🍗 Add the chicken to any baking dish and then add the olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, 7 cloves of unpeeled garlic, honey dijon mustard, and the juice of a lemon. 👐 Give it a nice massage with clean hands and then either bake it right away or marinate overnight. 🥔 Feel free to add some potatoes to the baking dish as well. 💧 When you are ready to bake, add the wine and water and then cover the dish with a lid or foil. 🔥 Bake at 400°F (200C) for 45 minutes, then uncover it and put the oven to broil for a couple of minutes to get the skin nice and crispy. 🌡️ Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). 🧄 Remove the garlic cloves and then use it as a spread on bread. Enjoy!
