Recipe - Garlic Mud Chicken

3 pound Roaster Chicken
3 Garlic*
1 tablespoon Cajun Spices,
Three fourths cup Of Olive oil;**
1 cup All purpose flour**

Preheat oven to 325 *large heads of (about 50 cloves) **or as needed As the
coating hardens and bakes on the chicken, the flavors and juices are all
sealed in.. Best chicken you ever ate. Put peeled garlic cloves in blender
with One half cup of olive oil and Cajun spices. Blend until creamy consistency,
add more oil if needed. Place the oil and garlic mixture in a large bowl.
Add flour slowly, mixing until a very heavy, thick, smooth mud like
consistency is achieved. With string, tie the chicken wings and the legs
tight against sides of carcass. Using a spatula, completely coat chicken
with Garlic Mud, as evenly as possible, using it all. Fill in all crevices
between wings and legs. Place on a rack, breast side up, in a pan and put
in preheated oven. Roast whole chicken about 1 One half to 2 One half hours or until
coating is browned well. If using cutup chicken, coat each piece very well,
place on a rack and roast for a shorter time, until chicken coating is
brown. Serve chicken with the crisp pieces of Garlic coating .. I would
suggest using a vertical roaster. It is a wire stand that the chicken slips
down on and is vertical. Set your bottom rack as low as possible to
accommodate in oven. Even a lower heat setting with a longer roast time is
even better.
This is a modification of an old
Chinese recipe called Beggers
