The onion soup mix combined with olive oil forms a thick coating that clings to the chicken, sealing in moisture and taste. Starting in a hot cast iron skillet helps crisp the underside, while the oven finishes it off with perfectly golden, crispy skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Onion Soup Mix Chicken<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><br>\u2022 2\u00bd\u20133 lbs chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)<br>\u2022 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix<br>\u2022 2\u20133 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[adinserter block=&#8221;6&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F.
