How to Make Baked Chicken With Onions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
3. Rub the spice mixture generously over 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or a mix).
4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
5. Slice 2 large yellow onions into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place half of the onions in the prepared baking dish.
6. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the onions.
7. Cover the chicken with the remaining onion slices.
8. Pour 1 cup of water into the baking dish.
9. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
10. Bake for 120-130 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
11. Remove foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking to allow the onions to caramelize and the chicken to brown.
