Broiler at the Inn

Had a half broiler this evening.  It was fantastic since I used  a good rub and paprika and I brined it for about an hour prior to broiling.  It brought back memories of the late '40s / early 50s.  Mom and Dad would occasionally take us to the Spencerport Inn for supper.  Fridays it was fish fry.  No exceptions!  But other nights I'd usually opt for their half broiler.  It was plain and simple; salt and pepper, paprika, and butter.

Good eatin'!   Pre - KFC

It was served with french fries in a red plastic "woven" basket with some wax paper and a couple dill pickle slices.  Why the pickles?  Because I loved em!  The best part was that the bird wasn't too hot and I was allowed to "rip 'n eat".  This was as close as a kid could get to playing with your food without getting yelled at.

I've got to admit it though.  Mine is a lot juicier than theirs.
