Written by A Twenty Cloves of Garlic Roast Chicken Recipe for those who love garlic and those who are having a problem with vampires.
This marinade will work well for both a whole roast chicken and chicken pieces, the drumstick in particular. It’s also a great idea for a chicken braai marinade.
If you feel that twenty cloves of garlic are not enough you could always double up to 40 cloves!
