Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 F Lightly coat the bottom of your roasting pan with olive oil, place garlic in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time.
• Remove pan from oven.
• While your garlic is roasting, wash and pat dry the chicken.
• Loosen the skin around the breasts and place 1/3 of the thyme and tarragon under the skin.
• Squeeze half of the lemon juice into the cavity then sprinkle coarse salt and pepper inside to season.
• Place another 1/3 of the herbs inside the cavity; fill the rest of the cavity with as many cloves of garlic as will fit, setting the rest aside.
• Tie the legs together with cooking twine.
• Place the chicken in your roasting pan and surround with the remaining herbs.
• Drizzle skin with olive oil; massage to coat and then sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper.
• Roast chicken for an hour and 10 minutes.
• Add remaining garlic to the pan around the chicken and continue roasting for about 20 more minutes.
• Your total roasting time should be around 1 1/2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh reads between 170- 175 F or the thigh juices run clear when pricked.
• If the chicken is looking too brown (or just brown enough) when you add the garlic for the final 20 minutes, just loosely cover it with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest, covered with foil, for at least 15 minutes.
• In the meantime skim the fat from the pan juices.
• Place the chicken on a platter surrounded with roasted garlic cloves, and spilling out from the cavity.
• Spoon pan juices over the chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the top third off 2 heads of garlic, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put each head on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and roast until the cloves are golden brown and very soft, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
• Unwrap the roasted garlic and pour any garlic-flavored oil from the foil into a small bowl. Squeeze the roasted cloves into the same bowl, discarding the papery shells. Mash with a fork until smooth; set aside.
• Peel and trim the remaining head of garlic. Thinly slice 5 cloves. Heat about 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add 1 slice of garlic. Cook until the garlic is at a lively sizzle, then sprinkle in the rest of the sliced garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is just golden and crisp (don't overcook or it will be bitter), about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in 2 batches skin-side down and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Discard the oil and return the Dutch oven to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining garlic cloves and cook until the garlic is light golden, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, thyme and half of the reserved garlic paste. Bring to a boil.
• Use a fork to mash together the flour and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the butter-flour mixture into the Dutch oven until dissolved. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Nestle in the chicken skin-side up along with any collected juices from the plate. Cover and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the Parmesan, parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the remaining garlic paste. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
• Put the bread halves on a baking sheet and spread with the garlic mixture. When the chicken has 10 minutes left, add the bread to the oven and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes.
• Cut the bread into pieces. Top the chicken with the reserved garlic chips and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the Lemon Beurre Blanc, roasted peppers, garlic, and feta cheese and heat over low heat. Keep warm until ready to use, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan. Place chicken breasts on grill and grill on both sides until completely cooked through. Remove from grill and place on a serving plate. Spoon sauce over the chicken and garnish with crumbled feta cheese.
• Sweat the shallots and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook until reduced by half. Add the cream and reduce until it reaches a sauce consistency. Reduce the heat to low and whip in the butter. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with garlic powder, seasoning salt and onion powder. Saute about 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
