Special Precautions and Tips:
- When broiling the chicken, make sure to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
- To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should be 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also tell if the chicken is cooked through by checking the juices. The juices should run clear when the chicken is done.
