Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

The most difficult part of the recipe was brushing all the chicken with the melted butter. It's a lot of work for this many pieces of chicken and really slowed down the process even with three of us frantically brushing away. The chicken was really good and not bad for oven fried given the large quantity of food we were working with. Maybe butter in a spritzer or something would make it easier but I'm not sure if that would work?
