How to Make A 1 Chicken

  3. Season the chicken leg quarters generously with the spice mixture.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken leg quarters in a casserole dish.

  6. Spread 2 tablespoons of A-1 Steak Sauce evenly over the chicken.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and carefully drain most of the juices, reserving about 1/2 inch of liquid in the bottom of the dish.
  9. Turn the chicken leg quarters over.
  10. Spread an additional 2 tablespoons of A-1 Steak Sauce over the chicken.
  11. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  12. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
