Method
Trim the ends of the onion and cut a hole through the center, creating a hollow cavity.
Mix oregano, garlic powder, black pepper powder, chili powder, paprika powder, sugar, salt, and MSG together in a bowl.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir the spice mixture into the melted butter until well combined.
Fill the hollowed onion with the butter‑spice mixture, packing it tightly and smoothing the surface.
Wrap the stuffed onion tightly in three layers of aluminum foil to prevent any leakage.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F). Place the foil‑wrapped onion in the oven and bake for 1 hour, ensuring it cooks evenly.
After baking, remove the onion from the oven, unwrap it, and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
Serve hot and enjoy the sweet, savory, slightly spicy flavor.
