How to Make Barbecued Drumsticks With Orange Couscous
- Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine 8 chicken drumsticks with your favorite BBQ marinade (about 1/2 cup). Toss to coat evenly. Grill the drumsticks for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and nicely browned (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- While the drumsticks are grilling, prepare the couscous. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup couscous, 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, and 1 1/4 cups boiling water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it stand for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. Add 1/2 cup of segmented orange (about 1 medium orange), 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Stir gently to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the barbecued drumsticks alongside the orange couscous. Garnish with extra chopped red onion, if desired.
