4 bone-in, skin-on split chicken breasts (about 3 lbs)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

- Spoon butter mixture under skin of each breast, then work butter evenly under skin. - Season with salt and pepper and arrange chicken skin side down on broiler-pan top.
- Broil on lower rack until just beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes.
- Turn chicken skin side up and continue to broil until skin is slightly crisp and chicken registers 160 degrees, 10-15 minutes.
- Move pan to upper rack and broil until skin is spotty brown and crisp, about 1
minute.
- While chicken is cooking, simmer vinegar and sugar in small saucepan set over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
