| 9 | stalks celery |
| 3 | sprigs fresh thyme |
| 3 | sprigs fresh rosemary |
| 10 | leaves fresh sage |
| 3 | sprigs fresh curly parsley |
| 1 | 4 lb. roasting chicken |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| 40 cloves | garlic |
| 1 Tbsp | olive oil |
| 1/2 cup | white wine |
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place three celery stalks in the bottom of a Dutch oven about 2 inches apart. Stack three stalks on top perpendicular and about 2 inches apart and then place the last three stalks on top perpendicular and about 2 inches apart to form a grid of celery.
Rinse the chicken well and pat dry. Rub the surface of the chicken and the cavity with the salt.
Place the 40 cloves of garlic in the cavity of the chicken and drizzle the oil over the garlic.
Place the chicken on top of the grid of celery and pour the wine into the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley to the pot and cover.
Place the covered pot in the preheated oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F. Cook for 30 minutes and remover the cover. Cook another 15 to 30 minutes until a meat thermometer at the thigh reads 160°F. Remove and let the chicken rest for at least ten minutes before carving.
Remove the cloves of garlic and place in a bowl. Serve the chicken with a two ounce slice of sourdough bread spread with roasted garlic cloves.

This is a wonderful recipe. The nutrition information reflects the chicken eaten with the skin on. I almost never do this: after you are used to not eating the skin it can really taste too rich. Nonetheless, in an effort to be fair to those who have a craving for a lovely roast chicken at Sunday lunch this is a pretty healthy way to roast it. The grid of celery keeps allows a lot of the fat to drain away and along with the herbs and garlic makes for a lovely aromatic bird. Serve this with some Pan Grilled Broccoli and you have the perfect healthy Sunday meal.
