Ingredients
  

  • 2½ to 3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced into ¼-inch rings
  • 1 cup Russian or Catalina dressing
  • 1 1-ounce packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Pat the chicken pieces dry and arrange them in a single layer, skin-side up, in the prepared dish.
  • Arrange the sliced onion rings around and over the chicken.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the dressing and dry onion soup mix until combined.
  • Spoon the dressing mixture over the chicken and onions, coating each piece evenly.
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for five minutes. Spoon the warm sauce and onions over the chicken before serving.

Notes

Bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks work best for this recipe. Dark meat is especially tender when cooked beyond 165°F, to approximately 175°F to 185°F. Baking times may vary with the size of the chicken pieces.
