Citrus Roasted Chicken With Grapes

Last summer, walking through a farmers market, I spied some delicate grapes cascading over a wooden crate. They looked sweet and delicate. The vendor offered some to taste. They were indeed sweet and delicious. Roasting grapes is a wonderful way to showcase this fruit and it pairs amazingly well with all types of poultry and duck and certain types of fish, such as salmon.

I promptly bought some grapes to add to my basket, Sunday lunch taking shape as I walked along. I also found some marvelous, multi-colored carrots whose varied flavors and color serve as a pretty and very tasty accompaniment to the chicken dish I was going to prepare. Sometimes just coming across an ingredient is all it takes to create a new dish — and this one has become a firm favorite ever since.
