Lemon Pepper Chicken and Taboule

I went to the grocery store today and chicken drumsticks were on sale for $1.13/lb. I'd never cooked drumsticks before, but thought I might as well try for that price. Living in an apartment building with only the George Foreman as my grill, the drumsticks took a lot longer to cook than I thought. But, overall the dish turned out great! My partner was impressed and even went for seconds!

Recipes:

Chicken -
1 lb of Roaster Chicken Drumsticks
2 cups of Lemon Juice (I used from concentrate, it was totally fine)
Parsley, ground black pepper, salt

Marinate the drumsticks in the lemon juice and coat liberally with the pepper, parsley and salt. Let this soak in a ziploc bag for 3 hours or overnight.
Cook the chicken on a grill for 20-25 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.

Taboule -
1/2 cup of bulgur wheat
1/2 cup of water (or stock)
1 small tomatoes chopped
1/2 medium cucumber chopped
1 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tbs of lemon juice
Parsley, salt and pepper
Fresh salad greens (baby spinach or chopped romaine leaves)

Let the bulgur wheat and water soak for 2 hours in a medium sized bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients and refridgerate covered for another 1/2 hour.

Serve the taboule over the salad greens
