Broiled Chicken

Jennifer Allen
Broiled Chicken has always been a recipe that brings me back to simple suppers at home. The sound of sizzling chicken under the broiler and the smell of garlic filling the kitchen makes me think of family gatherings that carried on well past sunset. It is a dish that never asks for much but always delivers comfort.
