Everything cooks together in one pan in this cozy, fuss-free bake: tender, golden chicken drumsticks over fluffy bulgur with sweet carrots and onion. It is the kind of weeknight dinner that practically makes itself.

Ingredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- 120 g (2/3 cup) bulgur
- 240 ml (1 cup) water
- 100 g (1 medium) carrot, grated
- 50 g (1 small) onion, finely diced
- 100 g (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) sour cream (15%)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Skin the drumsticks, season with salt, pepper and sour cream, and toss to coat. Rest 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge).
- Saute the onion and grated carrot over medium heat for 5-6 minutes.
- Spread the vegetables in a baking dish, pour in the bulgur and water and season with a little salt. Arrange the drumsticks on top.
- Cover with foil and bake at 180 C (350 F), top and bottom heat, for 40 minutes.
- Uncover and bake 10 minutes more until golden.
Tips
- Marinating overnight gives the chicken even more flavor and tenderness.
- Keep the dish covered for most of the bake so the bulgur steams through and stays fluffy.
- Check that the chicken is cooked through before serving; guidance on safe cooking can be found at the USDA.
