Pear and Grapefruit Glazed Chicken

This recipe for pear and grapefruit glazed chicken has the 4 out to 5 taste I love the most. Sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. The 5th taste is chocolate, but I guess you can't have everything.
Pear and Grapefruit Glazed Chicken
for one small or med (free rage Irish) Chicken
2 large (4 small) soft pears pealed, cored and chopped
1 large grapefruit (juice for glaze, peal for inside the chicken)
1/4 cup soy sauce (I use Korean soup sauce which is lighter)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp of dried Korean hot pepper
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 chicken

Place the pears, grapefruit juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, spices and herbs in a small pot. Add water to cover the pears and bing to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 30min (or watch the pot and let boil for 15 min). The pears should be very soft and easy to mash and half of the water gone. Take off the heat, let cool and mash/blend.
Turn your oven on 220c or the hottest it will go!
Wash the chicken and place the jucied grapefruit peel inside the chicken. Place the Chicken in an oven safe pan and glaze. Clover with foil and bake for 2 hours, turning and basting every 30min. Chicken is done when the skin is dark, juices are clear and the meat is almost falling off the bone.
Saeid loves this chicken and I think its great too. We had our yummy chicken with German potato dumplings.
