Ingredients

1 large chicken, cut up
4 heads of garlic, broken into cloves
1 tsp. oregano, thyme, savory
1 large bouquet garni
flour for dough

Cooking Instructions

Separate the garlic cloves without peeling them, but discard loose papers. Put everything except the bouquet garni and flour into a casserole. Mix well with your hands. Force the bouquet into the center, packing the chicken around and filling the cavities with the garlic cloves. Prepare a dough of flower, water and a dribble of oil. Roll it into a long cylindrical band on a floured board. Moisten the edge of the casserole and press the band around the edge of the pot. Press the lid tightly on top. Cook in a 350 oven for 1-3/4 hours. Break the seal of paste at the table when serving.
