Slow Cooker Chicken Charleston

Prep Time	15 mins
Cook Time	50 mins
Servings	6

Ingredients:

6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
1 large sweet onion sliced into rings
1 cup Russian dressing

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
Layer the onion. Spread the sliced onion rings evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add the chicken. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up over the onions in a single layer.
Add the dressing. Spoon the Russian dressing evenly over the chicken, making sure each thigh gets a generous coating.
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the skin is nicely browned, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
Rest and serve. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with the softened onions and some of the flavorful pan sauce spooned over the top.
