Orange-Glzed Chicken with Carrots and Bulgar

This was pretty good, but not fantastic. Definitely simple. We'd never had bulgar before and both preferred the new side dish over the chicken.

8 chicken drumsticks (about 3 pounds total)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup bulgur
1 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice


Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, arrange chicken in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes. Brush with half the marmalade, and rotate sheet. Continue to roast, brushing once more with marmalade, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.

While chicken is roasting, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add bulgur and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low; cook until bulgur is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in lime zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with bulgur.
