1 (3 lb.) chicken, cut up
6 tbsp. butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
3/4 tsp. dried thyme
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
4 med. baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 med. onions, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Gently pull chicken skin away from flesh without removing; leave skin attached in several places. Combine melted butter, garlic, thyme and parsley in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, paint the butter mixture over chicken and under skin. Arrange potato slices, overlapping slightly, in a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange onion slices on top. Put chicken, skin side up on top. Brush with butter again. Bake for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with remaining butter.
