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.

Slightly lengthy preparation, but it looks DELISH! However, the OIL was left out of directions, though I added it with wine, honey and vinegar. Also, is it baked with or without a cover? It is now marinating, and I will serve it along with couscous tomorrow night tp dinner guests. My mouth is watering already, though at 81, my legs are tired standing so long at my prep counter! Also, I also used some thighs plus the breasts.
