Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 grapefruit, cut in half
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place chicken into a roasting pan, and squeeze the juice from the grapefruit halves all over and inside the chicken. Drizzle chicken with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 45 minutes; remove foil, and bake until meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and ripe grapefruit: The quality of your grapefruit will greatly impact the flavor of your stir-fry. Look for grapefruit that are heavy for their size, have smooth skin, and are free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your stir-fry. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear on the chicken.
  • Use a high-quality oil: A good quality oil will help to prevent your stir-fry from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor. Some good options include olive oil, grapeseed oil, and canola oil.
  • Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary: If you're using a lot of chicken and vegetables, you may need to cook them in batches. This will ensure that everything cooks evenly.

Conclusion:

Chicken and fresh grapefruit stir-fry is a healthy and delicious meal that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
