Use your grill to make this quick, easy, and delicious chicken dinner. (No grill? Use a grill pan instead.)

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken drumsticks

  • 4 chicken thighs

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 large shallots, cut into thin rings

  • 1 cup bulgur

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • cup toasted almonds, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. Heat a grill to medium. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a large bowl, toss together drumsticks, thighs, cumin, coriander; season with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 20 minutes, turning often.

  2. Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until browned, 5 minutes. Transfer shallots to a medium bowl. Add bulgur and water to pot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high and cook 1 minute. Stir, cover, remove from heat, and let stand until water is absorbed, 10 minutes. Fluff bulgur with a fork; transfer to bowl and toss with shallots, almonds, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with bulgur topped with cilantro.
