I posted this on v.3 and it seemed to be well-received...

1/3 to 1/2 stick butter or margarine
6 medium-sized chicken legs
6 medium sized red potatoes
24 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/4 cup maple syrup

About 1 1/4 hours before serving:

1. In a large roasting pan in 400 degree f oven, melt butter or margarine. Remove pan from oven.

2. Meanwhile, cut chicken legs apart at joints. Cut potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

3. Place chicken pieces, potato chunks, and garlicc in the roasting pan; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Turn ingredients to coat with the melted butter or margerine; arrange chicken pieces skin-side up.

4. Bake 40 minutes, basting the chicken and potatoes after about 20 minutes with the drippings in the pan. While this is cooking, mix maple syrup with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

5. After 40 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and brush all the maple syrup over the chicken and potatoes; bake 20 minutes.

6. To serve, arrange the chicken, potatoes, and garlic on a large, warm platter. Let each person cut through the garlic skin and spread the soft garlic-meat onto the chicken and potatoes. This recipe will serve 6 people. The amount of chicken and potatoes you use can be adjusted by the amount of people eating, but the cooking time remains the same.

I usually serve this with fresh green beans as a vegetable.

This is absolutely the BEST chicken recipe I have ever found...
