Rotisserie chicken is the ultimate weeknight cheat. It shreds beautifully into this salad and soaks up the nutty citrus dressing.

Method

Dressing: Slice top and bottom off each grapefruit; cut down sides to remove peel and pith. Working over small bowl, cut between membranes to release segments. Squeeze membranes to release all remaining juice. Remove segments from juice; set both aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

In small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the grapefruit juice, the peanut butter, oil, mint, honey, garlic, fish sauce and soy sauce. Add more grapefruit juice, 1 tbsp at a time, if necessary, until desired consistency.

Salad: Remove and discard skin from chicken. Remove meat from bones and shred; place in large bowl. Add kale; drizzle with dressing, tossing to coat. Arrange on platter; garnish with grapefruit segments, peanuts and mint.

Tip from The Test Kitchen: Little-known chicken "oysters" are two small rounds of amazingly tender dark meat found on either side of the backbone of chicken and other fowl. On rotisserie chickens, they slide out especially easily and become a secret treat for the cook!
