Garlicky Drunk Chicken

This is an easy recipe. I swear it. It's perfect for week nights because it takes little prep work.
And if you love garlic, this is the meal for you.
You're going to need a dutch oven or a big pan with a lid.

Ingredients

• about 8 pieces of chicken. I used thighs.
• 4 tablespoons of oil
• salt and pepper
• 20 cloves of garlic. It sounds like a lot but it's not, trust me.
• 1.5 cups white wine (I use cheap chardonnay)
• 3 teaspoons of Italian seasoning

Directions

• Heat the oil over medium heat.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Brown the chicken on all sides.
• Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Smash the garlic with the flat side of your chef's knife.
• Add the smashed garlic to the oil and lightly brown. Don't let it burn because it'll taste bitter.
• Then add the Italian seasononing and white wine.
• My favorite part: Deglaze the pan with the liquid. That means scape all of the bits of chicken and garlic from the bottom of the pan using the wine with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula.
• Add the chicken back to the pot, reduce to a simmer, and cover the pot with a lid for 20 minutes. 

Serve with rice and veggies, enjoy!
