Chicken for Shabbos?

Sure. And it is soooooooo easy to make, in many, many ways!

Here's a Chicken recipe from scratch:

What you'll need:
Take cut up chicken pieces (dark, white, or a mixture of both, it doesn't really matter).
1 onion
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Onion bullion (like Osem Onion Soup Mix)
Salt
Pepper (just a bit!)
Basil
9x13 pan, sprayed with cooking spray

What to do:
slice the onion nice and thin. Place on bottom of pan.

Take all the spices, mix them up according to taste. Personally, I take about 1/5 cup paprika, pour in the other powders (garlic and onion), some salt, a dash of pepper, and the basil. Mix well. Sprinkle about one third of the mixture over the onions. Sprinkle some water on top.

Place the chicken in the pan in a single layer over the onions. Sprinkle another third of the spice mixture over the chicken. sprinkle water over the chicken, then spray the chicken really well with cooking spray. Pour the rest of the spice mixture in between the chicken pieces. Pour some water in between the chicken pieces. Fill pan until you can see the water (you can put more if you want more gravy). Cover tightly with aluminum foil, bake in oven for about two (2) hours at 375 degrees (F) (about 190 degrees C).

Uncover after about two (2) hours. Cook uncovered for about another half hour, until skin is crispy but not burned.

Serve Hot and Enjoy!!

Good Shabbos!

Also a good idea. In fact, you can get olive oil cooking spray, which will allow you to coat the chicken evenly.

And my wife would kill me if I used hot paprika. I would love it, she wouldn't. She's VERY Ashkenazi American, if you know what I mean...
