Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Simple Broiled Chicken Breasts.
Step 1
Begin by positioning your oven rack approximately six inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler to get it nice and hot.
Step 2
Generously rub olive oil over each chicken breast, ensuring they are thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Season both sides of the chicken with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the taste.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts skin-side down on a broiling pan, ready for that perfect sear.
Step 5
Broil the chicken in the preheated oven for about ten minutes, allowing the skin to crisp up beautifully.
Step 6
With care, flip the chicken breasts so they are now skin-side up, and continue broiling until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, which should take another ten minutes.
Step 7
To ensure perfect doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for five minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is succulent and flavorful before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your perfectly broiled chicken!.
