Chicken with Fresh Herbs and Sherry Wine Vinegar

From the kitchen of Carly

Bright herbs and sherry vinegar create a quick pan sauce that clings to broiled chicken skin. This is weeknight cooking at its best: minimal prep, maximum flavor, and done in under 20 minutes. The warm sauce ties everything together beautifully.
