Cheesy Onion Chicken

I love French's Fried Onions. I especially like them on a burger. So when I read this recipe I thought it'd make a great coating for chicken. And you know what? I was right. 

I dredged these bad boys like it says. I cooked them on a rack instead of just flat on cookie sheet. I flipped them half way through too so it got crunchy all the way around. 

These were good. I'd make them again if I had French's Fried onions in the house.
