Once wrapped place them in a deep baking tray and drizzle with plenty of olive oil.

Step 3

Grind over some black pepper, add some sprigs of thyme and scatter the garlic cloves around. No need to peel the garlic.

Step 4

Bake in the oven at 180C for 25-30 minutes. You can tell the chicken is cooked by inserting a skewer, the juices should run clear.

Step 5

once cooked, remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 6

Serve with a nice green salad and rice and plenty of crusty bread for mopping up the juices and squishing the roasted garlic cloves.
