Today was chicken thighs marinated in grapefruit and lemon
juices (about equal parts) and a healthy dose of black pepper. I baked it again at 500 for 15 minutes, then
375 for 30 minutes. When I reduced the
marinade to make a sauce, it emanated a sweet smell of citrus and pepper. I figured this would taste pretty good.
When I took it out of the oven, the aroma was enticing, and
the skin dark brown. I plated it up and
took my first bite…it was sweet, peppery, and tart. The sauce was a nice accompaniment, adding a
little extra. This is a combo I will
definitely try again.
Next week I will try to start with salmon and see what
results I get using grapefruit as a marinade.
