Easy Roast Chicken with Onions and Garlic

This recipe was inspired by a crockpot recipe from Stephanie O'Dea that can be found here. In the future, I will probably try it in the crockpot for a longer roasting time, although you generally have to babysit chicken in a crockpot because chicken falls apart much faster than beef. I omitted the paprika (mainly because I forgot it). Super simple, plus it fills the house with yummy roasted garlic smells. Tonight, I will probably serve this with a simple veg and starch.
