Roasted Chicken with Oil Cured Olives and Pancetta

Usually if I see a recipe with 10 cloves of garlic…I am immediately turned off and think that this recipes is doomed for disaster and I pass it over. But in this recipe, it actually makes sense and works; the garlic slowly roasts to a sweet flavor, no potent garlic-wave to hit you at first bite.  Dipping crusty bread into the pan juices, is my favorite part!

Serves 8-10
