First start by wrapping your chicken in the pancetta strips as show in the pictures.

Once wrapped place them in a deep baking tray and drizzle with plenty of olive oil.

Grind over some black pepper, add some sprigs of thyme and scatter the garlic cloves around. No need to peel the garlic.

Bake in the oven at 180C for 25-30 minutes. You can tell the chicken is cooked by inserting a skewer, the juices should run clear.

once cooked, remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Serve with a nice green salad and rice and plenty of crusty bread for mopping up the juices and squishing the roasted garlic cloves.
