Ingredients

1/2 stick butter
1 small onion, chopped

1 3- to 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup steak sauce

Steps:

In a large deep skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic 5 to 7 minutes, or until onion is tender.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well then add to chicken. Cover and cook 35 to 40 minutes, or until no pink remains in chicken, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken so that it has plenty of room to brown.
Sear the chicken over high heat to get a nice crust, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to make sure it is cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving so that the juices can redistribute.
Serve the chicken with your favorite barbecue sauce, sides, and toppings.
