Ingredients

2 chickens, 2 1/2-3 lbs., ready to cook, split
in half
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
2 tablespoons apple jelly
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup white wine

Cooking Instructions

Place chicken halves on broiling pan, not on rack. Brush thoroughly with the butter or margarine. Sprinkle with the salt. Mash the apple jelly with a fork, then add the wine gradually. Brush this mixture on both sides of chicken halves. Turn chicken skin-side down. Place in the broiler 6 to 9 inches from heat. Broil for 30 minutes with the chicken in this position. Then turn skin side up and continue broiling until chicken is evenly brown and cooked, about 20 additional minutes. When the chicken is done the drumsticks should twist out of the thigh joint readily. Cut each half into quarters for serving. Serve with hot biscuits and jelly. 4 to 8 servings.
