Roast Chicken with Garlic Sauce

Preheat oven to 350 F. Wash the chicken, sprinkle salt in the cavity of the bird, and place garlic cloves in the cavity. Rub a little salt and pepper on the outside of the bird, place it in a roasting pan, and dot a little butter on the breasts. Calculate roasting time (approx 20 min per lb) and put pan in the oven. Baste every 20 minutes. The bird is done when the leg joint moves easily and the juices run clear from the thickest part of the thigh when pricked with a skewer. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the garlic sauce. Puree almonds, garlic, and chicken stock in a blender. Simmer mixture over low heat and stir in bread crumbs. Add salt to taste. Serve garlic sauce in a separate dish alongside the chicken.
