CHEF JOHN'S BROILED CHICKEN



Chef John's Broiled Chicken image

The next time rain ruins your dream of a grilled chicken dinner, I hope you fire up your broiler and give this easy, alternative method a try. Not only are you getting the same intense, direct heat, but you also have more control, since you can adjust how far the chicken is from the flame. I prefer the meat about 7 to 8 inches under the heating element, but feel free to adjust as needed. Garnish with freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh oregano.

BROILED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN



Broiled Lemon-Garlic Chicken image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 half chickens (3 to 3 1/4 pounds total)

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack about 8 to 10 inches from the broiler and preheat. Grate the lemon zest and combine in a small bowl with the butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Mash with a fork to make a smooth paste.
  • With your fingers, gently loosen the skin on the chicken breasts, legs and thighs. Spread the flavored butter under the skin as evenly as possible. Halve the lemons and squeeze 2 halves over the chicken; season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken skin-side up on a broiler pan (or a rack on a baking sheet). Position the halves about 2 inches apart with the thick parts of the legs facing the center. Arrange the remaining 2 lemon halves cut-side down next to the chicken.
  • Broil the chicken until the skin is light brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the oven rack. Flip the chicken and the lemons and continue to broil until almost cooked through (a thermometer inserted into the thickest part will register 160 degrees), about 15 minutes. Remove the lemons, if browned; turn the chicken again and broil until the skin is brown and crisp and the thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 2 more minutes. Serve the chicken with the broiled lemons for squeezing on top.

Tips for Perfect Broiled Chicken Slices:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and tender results.
  • Slice Chicken Evenly: Consistent thickness ensures uniform cooking. Aim for 1-inch thick slices for optimal results.
  • Season Generously: Elevate the flavor of your chicken with a flavorful marinade or rub. Experiment with herbs, spices, and citrus to create a tantalizing taste profile.
  • Preheat Your Broiler: A preheated broiler is essential for achieving perfectly browned and cooked chicken. Ensure your oven's broiler is adequately heated before placing the chicken slices.
  • Use a Broiling Pan: Invest in a broiler pan with a wire rack to allow excess fat to drip away from the chicken, resulting in healthier and crispier slices.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Broiling chicken requires close attention to prevent overcooking. Check the chicken frequently during the cooking process to ensure it reaches the desired doneness.

Conclusion:

Broiled chicken slices are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in various meals.
