Instructions

Bowl

Heat a broiler, grill, or grill pan until very hot, then cook the chicken with the skin side towards the flame to crisp up the skin. I cooked it about 75 percent of the way there with the skin towards the heat source to ensure a great crust, then turned it just to finish.

Just as the chicken comes off the heat, scatter with the mint leaves so that they wilt from the heat of the chicken (if cooking under the broiler, you can send it back under the flame for a few moments to soften them).
