When we tried the traditional 40-clove recipe, the garlic flavor was so strong, we cut the number in half (and we love garlic!). This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker" (Clarkson Potter). Ingredients 8 whole chicken legs (about 4 pounds) 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 20 garlic cloves 2 lemons, thinly sliced 6 thyme sprigs Crusty bread, for serving Directions Preheat a 5-to 6-quart slow cooker; preheat oven to broil. Place chicken skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub oil onto skin and season generously with salt and pepper. Broil until skin is brown in places. Transfer chicken to the slow cooker. Add garlic, lemons, and thyme. Cover and cook on high until meat is tender and cooked through, about 2 1/2 hours (or on low for 5 hours). Serve with braised garlic, cooking liquid, and bread.
