Onion Chicken
This is the fastest and easiest chicken recipe that I know of. It is my chicken of last resort when I do not have time to do anything else for shabbat. You can even add rice in the bottom (with enough water) and it will all cook together and give you a really easy and tasty side dish at the same time.
Prep time- 5 minutes
Cooking Time- 45-60 minutes minutes
Feeds 4-5
Number of things that get dirty- 3
poultry shears
large pyrex or roasting pan
knife
Ingredients
1 onion
1 whole chicken
Remove skin and stems from onion. Cut a single slice into the side of the onion to give it more surface area.
Set aside onion
Clean chicken. If you are in Israel, remove feathers. If you are not in Israel, you probably do not have to bother with that step as the kind folk at the chicken factory have already done it for you.
Place in baking tray legs up
Stuff onion where the sun don't shine (alternatively if you are more aidle than I, insert onion into vacant chicken cavity)
Cover and cook at 180*C until golden cooked.
Uncover and cook an addotional 10 minutes or so
I told you it was easy.
