Gedempte Chicken
2
Linny
"'Gedempte' is Yiddish for 'well-cooked.' This is a baked onion chicken recipe from my great grandmother. It basically falls off the bone. The onions become very brown and tender during cooking."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Place chicken breast halves, drumsticks, and thighs in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). Add browning sauce and olive oil, tossing to coat. Season with salt and paprika to taste.
- Arrange chicken pieces in one layer on the bottom of a roasting pan. Top with sliced onions. Cover and bake for 5 hours, basting with pan juices every hour. The onions will release some liquid; if mixture looks dried out, add a small amount of water.
- Transfer chicken and onions to a platter and serve with extra pan juices as gravy.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Use whatever chicken pieces you prefer. I like a mix of 10 to 15 chicken breasts, thighs, and drumsticks (bone-in, skinless). It serves 8 to 12 people, depending on how hungry your guests are!
- I add water and a chicken bouillon cube to the roasting pan after the chicken bakes to make extra gravy, if necessary.

After reading the other reviews, I tried to forestall the blandness with seasoned pepper and garlic powder, in addition to some salt. It was still flavorless. The other mystery is the 5-hour bak...

This was pretty good. I added potatoes to the roaster and some extra spices. I didn't need to add any liquid or baste. I used a whole fryer chicken and it was perfect at about 4.5 hours.

I have made this several times, with a few tweaks of course. I add celery seed, carrots, and chicken stock instead of water. I also omit the brown sauce. The last two hours I add potatoes and sw...
