Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or bone-in breasts, skin on)
  • 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1-ounce packet dry onion soup mix

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish, skin side up.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir the condensed cream of chicken soup and dry onion soup mix until well combined.
  4. Spoon or pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken pieces.
Cooking
  1. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil, baste the chicken with pan sauce, and return to bake uncovered for another 25 to 35 minutes, until cooked through and skin is golden.
  3. Let the chicken rest before serving.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is patted dry before cooking to help the skin become crispy. Feel free to adjust the cooking time based on the size of your chicken pieces. Add some vegetables, like carrots or potatoes, for a complete meal in one pan. This dish can be prepared ahead of time; just refrigerate until ready to bake.
