Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (cut into individual pieces)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and develops a beautiful golden-brown color.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Thoroughly wash the chicken pieces under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. If you prefer, you can remove the skin from the chicken, but this is optional.
-
Prepare the Baking Dish: In a medium-sized casserole dish, pour just enough melted butter to coat the bottom. This helps to prevent the chicken from sticking and adds a rich flavor to the dish.
-
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle each piece of chicken evenly with seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. If you like a bit more flavor, you can also sprinkle a small amount of Accent seasoning.
-
Arrange the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the prepared casserole dish.
-
Add Onions: Lay the sliced onions on top of each piece of chicken. The onions will add a sweet and savory flavor as they cook.
-
Add Remaining Butter: Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the chicken and onions. This will help to keep the chicken moist and add a delicious richness.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered. For optimal results, baste the chicken approximately every 15 minutes to ensure it stays juicy and tender.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the oven. This dish pairs wonderfully with crescent rolls, a fresh salad, mashed potatoes, green beans, or steamed broccoli topped with melted cheese. A baked potato also makes a perfect side.
