Orange-Glazed Chicken with Carrots & Bulgur

Martha (yes, THE Martha) and I have a working relationship. Every day she sends a message to my phone & lets me know what’s for dinner. Usually, it is at 3:34 – one day she was late & Jared proclaimed, “She doesn’t know what to make for dinner!” Love it!!! If you have an iphone & want Martha to send you a memo, sign up for Martha’s Everyday Food app. Or just try this recipe – it’s an easy fast favorite.

8 chicken drumsticks (about 3 pounds total) – or thighs, skin off

Coarse salt & ground pepper

1/2 cup orange marmalade

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

1 cup bulgur (or brown rice or quinoa or couscous)

1 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Preheat oven to 475. On 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, 10-15 minutes more.

While chicken is roasting, heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots & season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Cook bulgur & 1-1/2 cups boiling water in rice cooker. Stir in lime zest & juice.
