Catalina Chicken- super easy!

Catalina Chicken

I apologize for the lack of photo.  This was an experiment for dinner tonight.  Didn't think to take a photo until the girls said they loved it!  I'll post a picture the next time I make it.

approx. 1/2 cup Low Fat Catalina dressing
5-6 bone in chicken thighs and legs, skinned

Make sure top rack in oven is in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven broiler 5 min.  Place chicken meaty side up on a broiler pan.  Broil chicken (I shut the oven door for this part) 10 min.  Turn chicken pieces over, broil another 10 min. (again I had the oven door shut).   Turn chicken again, this time, with a basting brush, brush chicken with Catalina dressing.  Return to oven, only this time, leave the door open.  Broil 4-5 min.  Watch it closely for burning.  Turn chicken, baste 2nd side with Catalina Dressing.  Broil 3-4 min. with the door open.  Again, watch closely for burning.  Lower chicken down a rack if burns too quickly.  Again turn so meaty side is up, give it a 2nd coat of Catalina dressing.  Broil 2-3 min.  Turn one last time and brush 2nd side with its 2nd coat.  Broil 2-3 min.  By this last turn, I moved the chicken down a rack as the dressing was getting dark rather quickly.  Then I turned the oven off but left the chicken in it about another 5 min. to be sure it was cooked thoroughly, but no longer burning.

What resulted was juicy perfectly cooked Catalina Chicken.  It was much like BBQ chicken but with a completely different flavor.   Yum!

Alternatively, you could use boneless chicken, broil just 5 min. each side before you add the Catalina dressing.
