Recipe makes 1 bird

Ingredients:

• 1 roasting hen (about 4lbs.)
• 1 grapefruit
• 1 onion, thickly sliced (about 5 slices)
• olive oil
• salt( preferably kosher)
• pepper (preferably fresh cracked)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350^oF.
• Remove the neck and the rest of the organ. Rinse the bird and pat dry.
• Rub olive oil all over the bird. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Place onion slices in a roasting pan and place the bird on it.
• Cut grapefruit into half.
• Squeeze half of the grapefruit over the bird and then place the squeezed grapefruit in the cavity of the bird and tie legs together.
• You can also fold the bird's wings back at this point if you want to.
• Cook bird for about 1hr 15mins to 1hr 30mins or until leg joint is loose and juices run clear.
• While the bird is cooking, use the other half of the grapefruit to "baste" the chicken about every 30 mins.
• If the chicken begins to get too dark, cover loosely with foil. (This can happen because of all the natural sugar in the grapefruit)
• When finished cooking, let it sit and rest for 5 mins.Then carve away!
