Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down on a broiling pan.

Step 2
Broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. Continue broiling until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

If desired, add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the broiling pan and stir to dissolve the browned bits from chicken juices. Use as a light sauce on the chicken.
