Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken drumsticks or thighs
• 0.5 cup A1 steak sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the A1 steak sauce, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well combined to make the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the chicken drumsticks or thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top if available.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet or rack, ensuring they are not crowded. Reserve any leftover marinade.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through cooking. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade during the flip to enhance the flavor and moisture.

Step 7

Check that the chicken is fully cooked by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the A1 Chicken with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
