BROILED CHICKEN
Preheat broiler compartment 5 to 10 minutes. Select 1½ to 2-lb. chicken for broiling. Split in half lengthwise. Break the wing, hip and leg joints to keep chicken flat. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken skin side down on cold broiler pan. Brush with melted butter or margarine, if desired. Broil on the first side until brown, about 15 minutes; turn skin side up and broil until done. Total broiling time varies from 35 to 50 minutes. One chicken makes 2 to 3 servings.
