Baked chicken with onion slices

I wanted to clear the one and only onion in my pantry and decide to try baking chicken with onions. After researching around in google, I found this lovely recipe from the Spruce - Baked chicken with sweet onions. I modified it with what I had in my kitchen. The chicken was so tender and succulent that my boy kept praising it. I should find some time to cook this again.



Ingredients
2 deboned chicken legs 
1 yellow onion 
4 tbsp flour 
2 tsp Nomu Cajun rub (you can replace with your own spice mix) 
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
Salt
Black pepper 

Sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce 
1 tbsp honey 
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 

Recipe
1. Marinate the chicken legs with salt and black pepper. Cut the onion into slices and set aside. 
2. In a shallow tray, add the flour, spice rub and some garlic powder. Mix well. 
3. Heat the oil in the wok. Dry the chicken with kitchen towel then place the chicken on the tray and coat it with the flour evenly.
4. Gently put the chicken in the wok when the oil becomes hot. Leave it on medium heat for 3 minutes then flip over to brown it for another 2 minutes. Do the same for the other chicken leg.
5. Place the browned chicken on the baking tray. Add the onion slices into the same wok and let it soften.
6. In the meanwhile, add the sauce ingredients stated above to the wok and let it cook for a short while before transferring it on top of the chicken. 
7. Put the chicken in baking tray to the oven and cook it for about 15 to 20 minutes 180 degree celcius. Watch the oven it should be ready when the onion slices are nicely browned. The chicken is fully cooked when its juice runs clear.
8. Transfer to plate and serve. You can garnish with some fresh vegetables if you like.
