Southern Chicken Casserole

1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) frying chicken, cut up

1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

In Dutch oven, fry bacon until crisp. Remove bacon. Add chicken, browning well on all sides. Remove to a 2-quart casserole dish as pieces brown.

Cut potatoes lengthwise into 3 slices. Add to bacon fat. Brown on both sides. Remove and place on top of chicken.

Top potatoes with onions. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning, salt, black pepper, shallots (or onion rings) and parsley. Top with the bacon.
