3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin

Broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. Continue broiling the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more.

LIME & CORIANDER CHICKEN

Lime & coriander chicken image

Everyone will think you've used chilli, but the fieriness of this dish is simply crushed black pepper

Provided by Good Food team

Categories Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 medium chicken (about 1.6kg/3lb 8oz)
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp black peppercorn
juice 2 limes , plus 1 lime cut into wedges, to serve
bunch of coriander , few nice sprigs reserved, the rest finely chopped

Steps:

First, spatchcock the chicken so that it will sit flat on the barbecue. All this means is using a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp kitchen knife to cut down either side of the parson's nose to completely remove the backbone. Then, place the chicken, breast side up, on a chopping board and push down hard to flatten with your hands. Use a sharp knife to make lots of deep slashes in the chicken, about three in each breast and two in each leg.
In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and peppercorns together to a grey, mushy paste. Stir the lime juice into the paste, then the chopped coriander. Put the chicken in a dish and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
To cook the chicken, fire up the barbecue. When the flames die down and the coals are hot and glowing, lay the chicken on the barbecue, skin side up, and sprinkle with salt. You will be tempted to keep prodding it and lifting it up, but leave it alone. After 25 mins, the chicken will look like it's cooked through, but flip it over and give the skin side 10 mins to brown. Lift the chicken onto a chopping board and leave to rest for a few minutes.
You can now carve conventionally but I like to get a cleaver and chop it straight down into thick slices. Pile it up on a platter and serve scattered with fresh coriander and lime wedges.

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.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 small onion, sliced
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut in half, backbone removed
salt as needed

Steps:

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Spread onion slices in a single layer on the bottom of a baking dish. Season chicken with salt. Place chicken halves, skin-side down, over onion rings.
Cook chicken in the preheated oven, turning every 7 minutes, until caramelized, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
To make the breading, use a food processor to grind the coriander seeds and lime zest into a fine powder.
Be sure to coat the chicken breasts evenly with the breading mixture. This will help them get nice and crispy.
When broiling the chicken breasts, be sure to place them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
Cook the chicken breasts for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken is cooking, make the coriander lime pesto. Simply combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Once the chicken is cooked, serve it immediately with the coriander lime pesto.

Conclusion:

This broiled breaded chicken with coriander lime pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the pesto is bright and refreshing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
