Ingredients:
- 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or your preferred chicken pieces
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Caramelize the Onions:
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown. This may take about 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.

- Roast in the Oven:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches a safe internal temperature.
- Baste the Chicken:
- Occasionally spoon the juices over the chicken to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve Warm:
