October Roasted Chicken

turmeric
sea salt
olive oil
fresh squeezed grapefruit
garlic
parsley
ginger
coarsely ground black peppercorns
1 chicken, from new seasons (they always sell free range, hormone free, vegetarian fed birds)

coat chicken with all of the above. for a 1 1/2 lb bird, i used 1 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp sea salt, about 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 grapefruit, 3 cloves of garlic, half a bunch of flat italian parsley and 1 Tsp of freshly grated ginger, and 1 Tsp. of freshly ground black peppercorns ... to give you an idea of the measurements.

also, after coated the bird, i took half the parsley and put it into the bird's cavity.

i surrounded the bird with about 6 small yellow potatoes and a large pieces of yam.

i cook it at 350 degrees until one of the chicken legs could easily and gently be pulled off the bird.

this was a very good roasted chicken.
