Recipe Information

Step by step guide to making Barbecue-style chicken with tabbouleh

  1. In a large non-metallic dish, mix the zest and juice of 1 of the lemons with the garlic and 1½ tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, put the bulgar wheat in a large pan, pour over 650ml boiling water and simmer, covered, over a low heat for 15 minutes, until the liquid has absorbed.
  3. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir through the herbs, tomatoes, and onion.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining oil with the juice and zest of the remaining lemon and the mustard and honey, then toss through the tabbouleh. Season with freshly ground black pepper and cover until needed.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Cook the chicken in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until cooked through with no pink remaining.
  6. If you like, you can then transfer the chicken to a hot barbecue or griddle pan and sear on both sides for a few minutes. 
  7. Warm the flatbreads either on the barbecue or griddle pan for a few minutes either side, or in the oven to pack instructions. Serve with the chicken and the tabbouleh salad.
