Spanish Roasted Garlic Chicken Recipe

Roast chicken (pollo asado con ajo) is a popular main dish in spain, served in simple eateries and roast chicken shops throughout the country. Not only is it delicious, its simple enough for the novice cook to make successfully every time. This particular version of roast chicken from spain has more flavor by adding garlic and white wine. These ingredients combine for the perfect flavor, which can be enhanced even more by marinating the chicken overnight. It is a good family dinner dish, particularly in the cold weather. Serve with home-fried potatoes and a simple green salad, and a glass of spanish wine if you wish. Note: in spain, there is a type of chicken called pollo de corral, which is corn fed and usually free range. All spanish chicken dishes are much better with free-range chicken if you can find it--the flavor is much richer.
