Ingredients

  • 1smallonion, sliced

  • 1(3 pound)whole chicken, cut in half, backbone removed

  • salt as needed

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven broiler. Set an oven rack about 7 to 8 inches from the heat source.

  2. Spread onion slices in a single layer on the bottom of a baking dish. Season chicken with salt. Place chicken halves skin-side down over onion rings.

  3. Cook chicken in the preheated oven, turning every 7 minutes, until caramelized, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
