Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken

2-1/2 to 3 lb broiling chickens, halved
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
Lemon sauce (recipe follows)

Preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before cooking. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden brown & juices run clear. Remove chicken from broiler leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces each. Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, that can fit into the broiler. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken & coat well. If necessary, split sauce in half & do this in two batches. Return to broiler & broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece & boil a minute longer. Remove from broiler & portion chicken onto each 6 warm plates. Pour sauce into heavy saucepan. Stir in the parsley & place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken & serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb juices.
