BROILED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 8 to 10 inches from the broiler and preheat. Grate the lemon zest and combine in a small bowl with the butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Mash with a fork to make a smooth paste.
• With your fingers, gently loosen the skin on the chicken breasts, legs and thighs. Spread the flavored butter under the skin as evenly as possible. Halve the lemons and squeeze 2 halves over the chicken; season with salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken skin-side up on a broiler pan (or a rack on a baking sheet). Position the halves about 2 inches apart with the thick parts of the legs facing the center. Arrange the remaining 2 lemon halves cut-side down next to the chicken.
• Broil the chicken until the skin is light brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the oven rack. Flip the chicken and the lemons and continue to broil until almost cooked through (a thermometer inserted into the thickest part will register 160 degrees), about 15 minutes. Remove the lemons, if browned; turn the chicken again and broil until the skin is brown and crisp and the thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 2 more minutes. Serve the chicken with the broiled lemons for squeezing on top.

BROILED BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• 1. Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Line a rimmed 17- by 12-inch baking sheet with foil, pour ¼ cup water into the pan, and fit with a wire rack. 2. Toss the wings with the oil, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Arrange in a single layer on the rack. Prick the chicken skin with the tip of a knife. Broil until cooked through and browned, about 20 minutes, turning once. 3. While the chicken cooks, mix the hot pepper sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and butter in a large, deep skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring, then simmer over medium-low heat until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the hot wings and turn until well-coated. Serve immediately with the celery sticks and blue cheese dip.

BROILED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Brush top with oil and butter and broil 4 minutes a side for rare; turn over, brush other side with butter or oil and broil 4 minutes a side (cook 5 to 7 minutes a side for medium rare; never cook until well done).

BROILED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Snap off the ends of 2 bunches thin asparagus; discard. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil until slightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with red wine vinegar and olive oil. Top with shaved asiago.

BROILED LOBSTER, NEW YORK RESTAURANT-STYLE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with salted water. Bring to a boil and immediately add the lobsters. Cook for 7 minutes.
• Remove the lobsters, split them, brush them with melted butter and place under a broiler for another 7-8 minutes, or just until the meat is cooked and the top is nicely browned.
• If desired, a minute before removing from broiler, you may sprinkle the green tomalley with buttered bread crumbs.

BROILED, BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position the oven rack 8 inches from the flame/coil and turn broiler to high. Crack peppercorns with a mortar and pestle until coarsely ground. Add garlic and salt and work well. Add lemon zest and work just until you can smell lemon. Add just enough oil to form a paste.
• Check out your refrigerator for onions, carrots and celery that are a little past their prime. Cut vegetables into pieces and place in a deep roasting pan.
• Place chicken on a plastic cutting board breast-side down. Using kitchen shears, cut ribs down one side of back bone and then the other and remove. Open chicken like a book and remove the keel bone separating the breast halves by slicing through the thin membrane covering it, then by placing two fingers underneath the bone and levering it out. Turn chicken breast-side up and spread out like a butterfly by pressing down on the breast and pulling the legs towards you. Loosen the skin at the neck and the edges of the thighs. Evenly distribute the garlic mixture under the skin, saving 2 teaspoons for the jus. Drizzle the skin with oil and rub in, being sure to cover the bird evenly. Drizzle oil on bone side of chicken as well.
• Arrange bird in roasting pan, breast up, atop vegetables.
• Place pan in oven being sure to leave the oven door ajar. Check bird in 10 minutes. If the skin is a dark mahogany, hold the drumstick ends with paper towels and flip bone-side up. Cook 12 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Juices must run clear. Remove and place chicken into a deep bowl and cover loosely with foil.
• Tilt pan so that any fat will pool at corner. Siphon this off with a bulb baster. (This fat is great in vinaigrettes). Set pan over 2 burners set on high. Deglaze pan with a few shots of red wine and scrape brown bits from bottom using a carrot chunk held with tongs. Add chicken stock, thyme, the remaining garlic paste and reduce briefly to make a jus. Strain out vegetables and discard. Slice chicken onto plates or serve in quarters. Sauce lightly with jus and serve.
