Grilled chicken with bulgur topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 whole chicken legs (about 1.1 kg)
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups white or red grapes (bunches)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1 cup bulgur
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Rub the chicken legs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle them all over with cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Transfer them to the grill, skin side up, cover, and roast for 12 minutes.
- Flip the chicken, cover, and continue grilling until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (70°C), 10 to 15 minutes. Grill the grapes, covered but turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups water with the butter, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Add the bulgur, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes (drain any excess water if necessary).
- Fluff the bulgur with a fork and mix with the toasted grapes, discarding the stems. Add the green onions, parsley, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt to taste. Serve with the chicken.
