Place chicken on broiler rack, putting about 1/4 inch of water in bottom of pan to prevent fat from burning. Broil about 6 inches from heat for 10 minutes. Turn and brush with butter mixture. Broil for 10 minutes longer. Brush again with butter mixture and broil until tender and golden brown. Brush with more butter mixture before serving. Serves 4.
