Preparation
- Step 1
Poke holes in the chicken with the tines of a fork and set aside. Mix the marmalade, mustard and honey in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Add half the grapefruit sections. Juice the remaining grapefruit sections. Add the juice to the marinade and discard the pulp. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
- Step 2
Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserve the grapefruit and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce by half. Season the chicken with salt and brush with some of the glaze.
- Step 3
Heat the grill and brush with oil. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes. Turn and baste with sauce. Continue to turn and baste, until the juices run clear when pricked with a knife, about 12 to 15 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, broil the grapefruit sections until lightly browned. Serve the chicken topped with a few grapefruit sections and any remaining glaze.

I made this using what I had, which was one pound of chicken tenders. I had it in the marinade for the suggested time, and then roasted it instead of grilling since I was already using the oven to roast potatoes. I omitted the honey and did not miss it. I broiled it for the last 2 minutes until the smoke was getting too thick in the kitchen. Though I love grapefruit, the fruit didn't taste very good after cooking. The chicken was good, with both sweet and tart flavoring from the marinade.
