Husband cooked broiler: it's foul! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

horrible

'foul' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'husband cooked broiler' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'broiler' is an anagram of 'orrible'.
'h'+'orrible'='HORRIBLE'

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for horrible that I've seen before include "Appalling" , "ghastly,grisly" , "Abhorrent" , "'Ghastly, grisly (8)'" , "Loathsome - unpleasant" .)
