Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (may use more or less)
2 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry (about 8)

Melt butter in a 13\"x 9\"x 3\" baking pan in preheated 400 F oven; then remove pan from oven.
Stir onion, garlic, basil and red pepper flakes into the melted butter.
Place chicken, skin side down, in butter mixture; then turn over.
Bake uncovered, until meat next to bone is no longer pink when slashed with knife (about 45 minutes).
Place thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out liquid, set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook linguine about 10 - 13 minutes. (do this about 10 minutes before chicken is done).
When chicken is done, remove thighs from pan and keep warm.
