Gedempte Chicken

Ingredients

  • 6 skinless, bone-in chicken breast halves
  • 2 skinless chicken drumsticks
  • 4 skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons browning sauce (such as Kitchen Bouquet®)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoons paprika, or to taste
  • 8 yellow onions, thinly sliced and separated into rings

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breast halves, drumsticks, and thighs in a large bowl (see Cook’s Note). Add browning sauce and olive oil, tossing to coat. Season with salt and paprika to taste.
  • Arrange chicken pieces in one layer on the bottom of a roasting pan. Top with sliced onions. Cover and bake for 5 hours, basting with pan juices every hour. The onions will release some liquid; if mixture looks dried out, add a small amount of water.
  • Transfer chicken and onions to a platter and serve with extra pan juices as gravy.
