Speaking of Frank Sinatra, here is another of his favorite recipes:

Blue Eyes' Italian Chicken, Potato, and Onion Dish * A family
favorite!

2 (2- 2 1/2 pounds) chickens, cut up
salt to taste / olive oil (the measure is an inch less from the
bottle)
2 white onions, thinly sliced
8 large potatoes, quartered
black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oregano
1 cup finely chopped parsley
Cook chicken in boiling salted water for about 30 minutes. While
chicken is cooking, pour 1 inch oil (look at the side of a standard
bottle of oil, the 1 inch measurement is the dept of oil used) into
24x18x2 inch baking pan. Remove chicken from water, blot dry with
paper towels; place in pan with the oil. Separate onion slices and
place on chicken. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir
in oregano and parsley and mix thoroughly. Bake at 350 degrees,
stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, for 1 hour or until potatoes and
chicken are done. Serves 4.
