Here’s a very different take on oven-roasted battered chicken: Crispy Onion Chicken. First off, there is no batter, only a rich and savory sauce that compliments the chicken perfectly. All the crunch comes from the crispy fried onions piled on top and surrounding all that juicy goodness. Then, it’s off to the oven to become golden-brown and crisp! Crispy Onion Chicken is the ultra-savory flavor you’ll be swooning over long after the meal is finished. There’s no better excuse for making it again and again!
