My neighbor learned this from her grandmother who survived the depression. The onions turn into the most incredible sweet sauce

Step-by-Step Directions:

Step 1: Base Layer
Spread one-third of the sliced onions across the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Tip: This layer helps keep the chicken from sticking and adds flavor as it cooks.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients
Pat the chicken dry and place half of the pieces on top of the onions, skin-side up. Sprinkle with salt. Add another layer of onions, followed by the remaining chicken and salt, then finish with the rest of the onions on top.

Tip: Layering helps the chicken cook evenly while the onions release moisture and flavor throughout the dish.

Step 3: Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3½–4 hours. No extra liquid is needed.

Step 4: Finish the Dish
Carefully remove the chicken and stir the softened onions and juices until combined into a rich sauce. Serve the chicken with the onions spooned over the top.
