Dark meat chicken thighs stand up to 40 —- yes, 40 — cloves of garlic in this recipe from Carnal Dish. The cloves infuse a gentle braising liquid, with plenty of room for the thighs’ skin to get deliciously crispy. The garlic is not overpowering, just perfectly mild!

40 garlic cloves, peeled (can be purchased pre-peeled in large quantitates)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon sugar

½ cup dry sherry
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
