Super Easy Garlic and Wine Chicken

This recipe for garlic chicken is great for those days when you just don’t want to spend time in the kitchen. 

The chicken bakes with a sweet glaze that is tinged with just a touch of thyme and a hint of licorice flavor that comes from using fresh tarragon.

I used fresh herbs for this recipe. I love the boost of flavor that herbs from the garden add to any recipe. Dried herbs just don’t compare!

Most grocery store sell fresh herbs in the produce area now, and they are very easy to grow.

The chicken has a sweet crust from the brown sugar and garlic but the white wine adds a nice tang to counterbalance the sweetness. Very, very tasty!
