For an extra layer of flavor, tuck the squeezed grapefruit halves into the chicken cavity along with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme. If you don't have seasoned salt, you can make your own by combining salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can baste it with its own juices a couple of times during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the chicken in a roasting pan. Squeeze the juice from both grapefruit halves over the chicken and inside the cavity. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with seasoned salt. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven, covered, for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 more minutes. To ensure doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). (60 minutes)
04
StepRemove the chicken from the oven and tent loosely with a double layer of aluminum foil. Let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (10 minutes)
