Preheat oven to 425
Arrange onions, celery and tarragon in casserole dish.
arrange chicken pieces over the veggies, skin side up
tuck garlic cloves, removed from head but still in peel, around chicken
drizzle generously with olive oil and white wine
sprinkle with salt and pepper, or in my case, Trocamare
Bake for at least an hour, until chicken is done, skin is crispy, garlic is soft, and your kitchen smells so good you can't stand it. Serve with crusty bread to squeeze garlic on. Fight over the garlic and drippings with your bread. Stink like garlic for days and be happy about it.
this sounds great - making homestyle baked chicken is one of my favorite family meals. thank you for posting it.
take care,
