Oven Baked Chicken

I think this recipe should be called oven baked barbeque chicken as that is basically what it is barbeque chicken and it is the season for barbeques here in the ozarks at least.. And again I substitute with chicken tenders instead of a whole chicken.

1 chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, cut up

pepper

Place cut up chicken in shallow pan, meat side up. cover chicken with 1/2 sliced onion, salt and pepper. Bake uncovered 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn chicken and slice other half of onion over it. Cook 30 minutes. Spoon barbeque sauce over chicken and bake 30 minutes. Turn again , basting other side with barbeque sauce, bake additional 30 minutes. Serves 3 or 4.

*If using chicken tenders as I did, I baked 10 minutes on each side then basted and bake 10 minutes then turn then baste and bake addtional 10 minutes.
