Broiled Chicken

Only young chickens are nice broiled Split down the back; wipe dry, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Have ready a gridiron placed over hot coals; place your chicken inside down on this. Broil until nicely browned and well cooked through, turning, and being careful that the chicken does not burn. Broil with the chicken some salt pork cut in thin slices. After removing from fire, rub in plenty of butter, and serve, garnished with the pork, slices of lemon and parsley.
