Winter Delight: Tangy Grapefruit Chicken Recipe

Winter Recipe: Savory Grapefruit Chicken

As the colder weather sets in, I find myself craving hearty and comforting dishes to warm me up from the inside out. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for Savory Grapefruit Chicken. This unique combination of citrusy flavors and savory spices is perfect for cozy winter nights.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (about 600g)
• 1 grapefruit
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• oven
• baking dish
• mixing bowl
• zester

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Zest the grapefruit into the bowl, then squeeze the juice from the grapefruit into the mixture. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and brush the honey and grapefruit mixture over them, making sure to coat each thigh evenly. Slice the remaining grapefruit and arrange the slices around the chicken in the baking dish.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown. Make sure to baste the chicken with the juices from the pan halfway through cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The combination of sweet honey, tangy grapefruit, and savory spices creates a delicious and aromatic dish that is sure to impress your taste buds.

This Savory Grapefruit Chicken recipe yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to marinate the chicken in the honey and grapefruit mixture overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop and infuse into the meat, resulting in an even more flavorful dish.

I hope you give this unique and flavorful recipe a try and make it your own by adding your own twist to it. Enjoy!
