The Best Effing Chicken Recipe Ever — Seriously

Ingredients

• 1 large whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds), deboned (ask the butcher to do it for you)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Salt the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt 1 to 3 hours prior to cooking and reserve in the refrigerator until 10 minutes before cooking.

Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken, skin-side up, on a rimmed sheet pan and place it under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, to brown and crisp the skin, about 10 minutes, rotating the pan a few times for even browning.

Turn the oven temperature down to 250°F and cook for 25 minutes.

Cut the chicken into entrée-size pieces, transfer to a platter and prepare to be blown away.
