BROILED CHICKEN DELUXE

ingredients

1 broiler-fryer chicken, halved
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 lemon
1/2 cup butter melted, divided
2 tsp salt
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp pepper

directions

1. In broiler pan place chicken skin side up. Rub surface of chicken with lemon, squeezing some juice onto meat. In bowl mix together salt, pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle mixture over chicken. Brush with 1/2 of the butter; sprinkle with sugar. Place broiler pan as far from heat as possible and cook at 450 degrees for 10 minutes allowing seasonings to penetrate. Move broiler pan up so that chicken is 3 to 6 inches from the heat in gas range or 6 to 9 inches from heat in electric range. Broil, basting frequently with remaining butter and turning to insure even browning, about 35 minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease. Makes 2 large servings.
