I was gonna follow others suggestions with the onicn and garlic, but decided I should try it as is first. I'm glad I did. It was pretty good. I wasn't expecting a gourmet meal, but for what you put into it, it is decent. (kinda like sweet and sour-would be good with rice.) I will add this: Use tinfoil or parchment paper! What a burnt on mess!!!

So easy and good! I used 6 drumsticks (removed the skin) and followed the recipe, just had to add a splash of white wine to it and cut back on the water. I also followed what others recommended with adding half an onion sliced thin to the bottom of the dish. Doesn't taste exactly like a BBQ sauce but boy is it good! You have to try this!

This was pretty good. I only made minor changes. I used 6 chicken drumsticks and doubled all the ingredients in the sauce except the onion soup mix...I dipped in and gave it a taste and it did seem just a tad too sweet, so I added 2 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce. I think that was just what it needed. I cooked it 30 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered, and still wasn't done, so I spooned the sauce over it again and gave it another 30 minutes uncovered. Perfect! I will probably make this again because it's so easy and tasty. I wouldn't make it for a dinner party, but definitely something the family wouldn't mind eating occasionally.

Pretty good stuff, like lots of the other reviews, it was too sweet. I knew I should have cut back on the sugar. I halved the amount of onion soup mix, also added some garlic powder (didnt have any fresh), a couple splashes of red wine, and sprinkles of paprika and red pepper flakes. Also cooked on top of sliced up onions. Served on top of sticky rice. Yum! Will def make again!

8x8 pan was perfect for 3 chicken thighs. Difference was doubling the ingredients except onion mix and added a sprinkling of garlic powder and cooked on top of onion rounds. 3 1/2 - 4, best part is it is easy and moist.

I was in need of something to do with my chicken and found this wonderfully simple recipe. I had all the things on hand and popped it in the oven and started noodles for dinner. The flavor was really good, sort of like a chicken version of meatloaf. Thank You Mom2112! I will put this in the rotation:)

As many said this was truly very simple to put together at the last minute. I actually followed the suggestions of others and doubled the sauce and included onions and garlic under the chicken before baking it. I was a little disappointed because although the sauce was tasty, it really didn't soak into the drumsticks and thigh pieces even with an overnight marinade. I would season the chicken before adding the mixture next time. I will definitely try it again and make necessary changes. We ate this with Mashed potatoes...nothing to write home about though, like I thought...

I'm giving this 5 stars...the sauce was delicious and was so easy to make :) I did add a little barbecue sauce to the ketchup and onion soup mixture and I omitted the brown sugar because the barbecue sauce contains brown sugar;) I also took the advice of others and placed the chicken drumsticks that I used for this on a bed of onions. I cooked it for 2 hours and it was fantastic! Really nice recipe to have on hand when you don't feel like going grocery shopping :) Thanks for sharing!!

I have been cooking for 40+ years, and I was extremely pleased with this recipe! I had less than 2 hours to prepare a dinner for last-minute company (whom I had never met), and this was absolutely perfect. I served it with an Italian oil and herb pasta and a Ceasar salad. I could only smile at the compliments!

This was pretty good, not sure if I would make again. I changed it a little but nothing too drastic. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the whole chicken. Also took the advice of other reviewers and doubled the sauce except for the onion soup mix and added some garlic. Also layered bottom of my dish with onion slices. Cooked at 375 for about 45 minutes, uncovering half of the way through. The sauce was way too thick for my liking even before I uncovered it, so I ended up adding about 1/2 cup more water to it. The chicken turned out nice and juicy, but this stuff really stunk while it was cooking. Maybe that's why I wasn't too fond of it even though it really didn't taste bad.

Everyone ate this - must use leg quarters not just legs if doubling the sauce. Will try next time with rice

I make this recipes every week, since hubby loves it so much! Changes: Instead of Ketchup, I use Diana's BBQ sauce (whichever flavour I fancy that day!) and only use a 1/2 pack of the onion soup mix!

My first rating ever! I followed this recipe to the letter, other than adding some marjoram, salt and pepper to the chicken before cooking. I took it out after one hour as directed but if I ever were to try it again, I'd give it at least another half hour to cook. I tried the recipe because it sounded easy, even though I thought it sounded a little bit thin. Well, it was more than thin -- I couldn't even taste the ketchup/onion mix. I like quick and easy, but this one I won't keep in my database.

Never used ketchup as a sauce base, but this was good. I added crushed garlic cloves and parsley. I also doubled the recipe according to other reviewer's suggestions. Overall a good, easy, and quick recipe for a weeknight.

This is a very good recipe and quite easy to make. I followed other people's suggestions: I doubled the sauce but only 1 pack of onion soup mix, put chicken on top of bed of onions and garlic and I added ground black pepper. The only suggestion I would make is to marinade the chicken overnight so the flavour would seep into the meat and not just stay on the skin. Next time, I will mix the ketchup with bbq sauce for an extra kick. This recipe is really quite good.
