Pat thawed Chicken with paper towels until completely dry
Blend together Salt, Pepper & Paprika in a bowl
Sprinkle 3/4 of the salt mixture on both sides, reserve 1/4 salt mixture for the potatoes.
Heat Electric frying pan to Med hi heat add Garlic and the Chicken (placed on it's back) in the frying pan.
Cook for 15 minutes.
add potatoes to the pan and add half the onions, sprinkle the salt mixture over them and Cook for another 30 minutes on medium Hi.
when time is up, turn Chicken over and add the rest of the onions, slather the butter over Chicken and potatoes. Cook on Medium heat for another 30 minutes.
after 30 minutes, check if Chicken is fully cooked, if it is still pink cook for another 15 minutes and check again. When it's cooked, take out of frying pan and place into a serving dish cover with foil and let it rest.
Check the potatoes if all are not cooked leave in pan to cook until fork tender another 15 to 20 minutes.
