1 large whole chicken, cut into pieces
3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)

1
In a shallow dish mix together the flour with seasoning salt, cayenne and garlic powder.

Toss/coat the chicken pieces well on all sides with flour mixture.

5
Add in sliced onions (leave the chicken pieces in the Dutch oven do not remove to a plate) stirring constantly until wilted and browned.
