Break down the whole chicken into 10 pieces - 4 quarters of breasts, 2 drums, 2 thighs, and 2 wings. (Directions to break down the chicken are in the post and on the printable recipe card below.)
Preheat oven to 375°.
Preheat a large, oven-safe pan, over medium heat and add canola oil.
Season all the pieces of chicken with salt and pepper (on both sides), and sear them in the pan for a couple of minutes on each side.
Pour in wine and let it simmer for about a minute.
Add chicken stock, nestle in garlic cloves all over, and sprinkle herbs over the top.
Transfer the pan into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check the temperature of the thickest piece. Chicken should be cooked to 165°.
