A1 Steak Sauce Glazed Chicken

This sweet-savory glazed chicken is a weeknight winner—A1 sauce adds a tangy depth that pairs perfectly with juicy, caramelized chicken thighs.

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
• 1/4 cup A1 steak sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup A1 steak sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Pat chicken dry, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and sear skin-side down for 5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2 more minutes.
3. Brush half the glaze over chicken, then transfer skillet to oven. Bake for 15 minutes, brush with remaining glaze, and bake 5–7 more minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and glaze is sticky.

The double-glaze technique creates a lacquered finish that clings to every bite—no sad, pooled sauce here! Serve with roasted potatoes to soak up the extra goodness.

2. Make meatloaf: In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup A1 sauce, egg, onion, Worcestershire, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper until just combined. Shape into a 9″x5″ loaf on the baking sheet.
3. Bake: Brush top with 2 tbsp A1 sauce. Bake 50-55 minutes until internal temp reaches 160°F. Rest 10 minutes.

4. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, just until opaque and slightly charred at the edges.

The magic here is the caramelized glaze from the honey and A1—it clings to every bite without overpowering the shrimp’s natural sweetness.

Tip: For extra smoky depth, add a pinch of cayenne to the marinade.
