Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe

Garlic Chicken Recipes work well because Chicken meat is fairly bland on it's own so garlic is a great way to get flavour into the meat. Garlic is an a amazing flavourant because it has a different taste depending on how it's cooked - it can have a subtle sweet flavour to a strong almost overpowering one.

Garlic is also well known for its health benefits

Here are two of my favourite garlic recipes.
