With my Simple Broiled Chicken recipe, I want to give you the easiest and most basic method for broiling chicken there is. Even when you’re broiling chicken, there can still be plenty of questions to answer. How long to broil chicken for? Does the time vary if you leave the bone in? Will the skin burn if you leave it on? Should I use oil or butter?
Well here I try to answer all of these questions with my very simple method, which will give you delicious, succulent chicken with a nice crispy skin, just the way it should be! Of course feel free to add some extra seasonings – Cajun spices, garlic salt, Italian herbs, paprika or whatever you prefer – but make sure to follow this basic recipe to get perfect broiled chicken!
To make my Simple Broiled Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Turn your oven’s broiler on and make sure the top rack is about 6 inches below the broiler.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and rub the oil in using your hands. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over both sides, then lay the halves skin side down in an oven pan.
Put the pan under the broiler and broil the chicken for 10 minutes before turning over. Broil the chicken skin-side up for about another 10 minutes, until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through. If you have a cooking thermometer, the temperature from next to the bone should read 165°F.
Take the pan out of the oven and leave the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
I usually serve Simple Broiled Chicken alongside a portion of garlicky green beans or pan-fried spinach. This simple method will give you perfect chicken every time. What do you think? Leave me a comment below or tag #cookmerecipes in your broiled chicken posts!
