Toss chicken in flour and place in a 13 x 9 x 2 pan.

Arrange onion and lemon over top of the chicken slightly overlapping.

Mix together remaining ingredients in a sauce pan (except thyme)

Heat until butter melts and just bubbles.

Pour over the chicken, lemon and onion, careful not to disturb the onion and lemon.

Scatter the thyme over the chicken.

Bake for 20 minutes at 400.

Baste occasionally.

Reduce heat to 325 degrees and cook another 20 minutes-**if using chicken breasts and about 45 minutes to an hour using 2 cut up fryers on the bone*

This sounds really nice and will just have to try it soon. What is the 'red & blue cheese dressing'?

That is an either/or? One doesn't cook 8 breasts AND two whole chickens?

Oh heavens, yes, it is either/or. I make the boneless skinless breasts when I catch them on sale and they cook less time than when I do the whole fryers cut up. I meant to put the (*) in as the different cooking times. Red bleu cheese dressing is posted. Actually it is really just a good roquefort crumbled into a bottle of Catalina dressing. (Mom always crumbled cooked bacon over this dressing on wedges of iceburg) So retro, yet so good.
