Honey-Grapefruit Chicken
Ingredients
Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
On a work surface, remove the rind and pith from the grapefruit and use a knife to cut out the segments. Squeeze the juice from the fruit for the sauce after the segments have been removed and set aside.
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides.
Add the honey, bay leaves, garlic and chicken broth.
Cover and cook on low heat about 30 minutes, occasionally turning the chicken thighs.
Five minutes before the chicken is done, add the grapefruit segments and reserved juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve with orzo (rice-shaped pasta) and squash ribbons with garlic.
Helpful Tip
To roast garlic, bake the entire bulb in the oven for about 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C), until each clove is very creamy. For the recipe, the cloves must be added whole (with the skin).
