Easy Broiled Chicken!

It seems that I am old enough to remember when you bought a whole chicken, cut it up and used it however for dinner.  Then there was the day of a pack of cut up chicken breast that you could get on sale for 99 cents a pound.  Now...I just buy the boneless, skinless and throw it on the grill. 

Occasionally, when I want to make some kind of soup, I will buy a whole cut up chicken...or "pick of the chick" because I want all the stock and flavor.  So...I had one in the freezer that needed to be used and it was too hot for soup.  I forgot how to just roast a chicken!!  So I had to look it up in a cookbook and this is what I ended up doing.  It was the easiest thing and fastest thing...and so much flavor!

I put a rack in the bottom of a large pan or you can use a broiler pan, cleaned and washed my chicken pieces.  Then I brushed a little oil on them and seasoned with a cajun spice that I had (also used a lemon pepper another time).  Turn your oven to BROIL and put your rack about 6 inches under the heat - bone side up first.  Broil 20 minutes....turn over and broil another 20 minutes. That's it!  Make a salad or some sides to go with it.  If you don't like the skin, just take it off before you eat it.
