uses WAY more garlic than a recipe calls for? I made Greek lemon chicken last night, (yummy) and the recipe I used called for three cloves of minced fresh garlic. Well, that's just not enough for me! I used six and was very happy with the results!!

Marinade:
6 cloves minced fresh garlic
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp crushed rosemary
1/4 tsp cumin
3 bay leaves (remove before baking)
1tsp dry mustard
1 tsp oregano
1/2 bunch fresh parsley minced or 2-3 tbsp dry parsley
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like heat)

Marinate 4-6 bone in skin on chicken thighs for at least 3 hours. Bake in pre-heated 400° oven for 40 minutes. I put them in a 13 by 9 pyrex baking pan with the marinade. Pour off the marinade after baking. (I save some to pour over the yellow rice I use with it) Put the dish back in the oven to broil the skin on high and make it crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Serve over yellow rice with some of the cooked marinade if you want to and I like salad with it or broccoli. Delicious!!

1. That looks delicious 😋

And to answer your question? Double garlic is just about right!

2. A bit depends on if fresh or packaged/processed garlic but I tend to go heavy too. Rarely get complaints.

3. Depending on the size of the cloves, if it calls for two I put in at least three or four. 🧄

4. I have made a similar recipe

that also calls for yogurt in the marinade, and yes I put in extra garlic, especially if the cloves are small.

5. "Too much garlic is never enough "

According to my old boss/friend.

Yup!

6. What is this "WAY more garlic" of which you speak? I am unacquainted

with that concept.

The recipe sounds delicious!

7. My Aunt's cooking advice to me a long time ago...

when you think you have enough garlic, add at least one more clove.

8. I am not a huge fan of garlic, so I'm inclined to use less than called for.

Do what works for you.

9. I often use more garlic than called for. I do the

same with onions.

10. I tend to use more. I put cut cloves into a

Tea ball and into the pot. When dish is cooked I remove the tea ball and cool the garlic. Then scrape it out of the tea ball into the sauce. Prevents the garlic from burning in the bottom of the pan.

11. Oh, good hack.

Burnt garlic is nasty!!
