Grilled Chicken with Bulgur
- 4 chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs attached; about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups green or red grapes (in clusters)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 cup bulgur
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Coat the chicken legs with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle all over with the cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Transfer to the grill, skin-side up; cover and cook 12 minutes.
- Flip the chicken, cover and continue cooking until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes.
- Grill the grapes, covered but turning occasionally, until slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 cups water, the butter, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil.
- Add the bulgur, reduce the 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 stir in the grilled grapes, discarding the stems.
- Stir in the scallions, parsley and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt.
- Serve with the chicken.
