BROILED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN

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.

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.

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

  • 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).

EASY BROILED CHICKEN BREASTS



Easy Broiled Chicken Breasts image

This broiled chicken recipe is great when it's too cold to grill outside. A favorite since I was a kid.

Provided by Lane Baysden

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Broiled

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup salted butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon ground ginger
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Combine butter, vegetable oil, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, paprika, and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter is completely melted, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place chicken in a baking dish and baste with the butter sauce.
  • Broil in the preheated oven, basting and turning every 10 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Nutrition Facts : Calories 460.9 calories, Carbohydrate 2.9 g, Cholesterol 125.6 mg, Fat 39.4 g, Fiber 0.5 g, Protein 24.1 g, SaturatedFat 17.5 g, Sodium 802.1 mg, Sugar 1 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best. The bones and skin help the chicken stay moist and flavorful during broiling.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much more intense flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they cook evenly. If the chicken is too crowded, it will steam instead of broil.
  • Broil the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This easy garlic broiled chicken recipe is a quick and easy way to get a delicious and healthy meal on the table. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the garlic adds a nice touch of flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
