Chicken with Slow Roasted Lemons and Capers

For the recipe you need slow roasted lemons. It took time to roast but was easy. I only did two lemons. But actually one would do for the recipe. You halve the lemons and put them in an ovenproof pan with a lid. Slice an onion thin and add. Add about 1/2 c water and salt. Roast at 375 for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn lemons every 30 minutes. Watch carefully and lower heat if needed. They can burn quickly. Cool and chop small. You can do this ahead. And the lemons can be used for other things.
