This slow-roasted chicken with all the garlic is a masterclass in coaxing deep, mellow flavours from simple ingredients. By cooking the bird at a lower temperature, the meat remains incredibly succulent while the abundance of garlic cloves transforms into a sweet, spreadable confit. This dish is naturally diabetes-friendly, focusing on high-quality protein and heart-healthy fats, making it a nutritious alternative to a traditional heavy Sunday roast.

Ideal for a comforting weekend lunch, this one-pot method requires very little active preparation. The green garlic and lemon wedges infuse the cooking oil, creating a fragrant base that keeps the chicken moist throughout the long roasting process. Serve this savoury feast with a side of steamed seasonal greens or a crisp salad for a balanced, low-carbohydrate meal that feels truly indulgent.

How to make Slow-Roasted Chicken With All the Garlic

Back to contents

Preheat oven to 163°C. Trim dark tops from green garlic and place in chicken cavity; loosely tie legs together with kitchen twine. Halve green garlic bulbs and pale-green parts. Place chicken in a 2-qt. baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Tuck green garlic, garlic cloves, and lemon wedges around (make sure everything fits snugly to keep garlic from getting too dark); pour oil over. Roast, turning garlic and lemon occasionally, until chicken is very tender and garlic is soft and deeply caramelized, 2 1/2–3 hours. Serve chicken with garlic and lemon alongside.
