Lunch: Chef John's Broiled Chicken

Recipe by Chef John See how to make juicy broiled chicken with perfectly crispy skin.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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).
