Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Melt the butter in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble.
Place the chicken leg quarters in the hot skillet, skin side down, and sear for 4 minutes per side. If you have a grill press or another heavy skillet, you can press the chicken legs down for a more effective sear.
Season the chicken leg quarters with the Herb Salt.
Chop the asparagus into 2-inch pieces, and place it in the skillet.
Add the onion to the skillet.
Lightly toss the vegetables with the juices in the pan, and cook for 15 minutes.
Lightly toss the vegetables with the juices again, and cook for another 20 minutes.
