Roast Chicken with Grapefruit
Roast Chicken with Grapefruit pairs succulent, tender meat with a gentle citrus tang that cuts through the richness. The grapefruit infuses the bird with a bright aroma and a lightly caramelized, seasoned skin. Serve it for a relaxed weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal when you want something crisp-skinned and fresh-tasting.

Place the chicken in a roasting pan, squeeze the juice from the grapefruit halves over and inside the chicken, drizzle the chicken with olive oil, sprinkle with seasoned salt, and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 45 minutes; remove the foil, and bake until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes.

Check with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone; it should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
