1 cut-up fryer or 2 to 3 lbs. thighs, breasts or drumsticks
Cooking oil
1 c. chicken stock or broth

Wash chicken, remove skin for lower fat, pat dry. Fry half of a medium onion in a little oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven. When onion is translucent, add chicken, a piece at a time, and lightly brown on each side. (Don't crowd the pan, remove pieces as they brown and set aside.)
