    3. Preheat the oven to 200° C.
    4. Remove the chicken pieces, thyme and onions with a slotted spoon and place in a baking dish. Pour one third of the marinade over the chicken and roast for 30  – 40 minutes until golden and tender.
    5. Baste the chicken with the juices as it cooks.
    6. When the chicken has cooked for 20 minutes, add the sliced grapefruit and oranges to the baking dish and roast for another 10  – 15 minutes.
