Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Coat the chicken legs with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle all over with the cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to the grill, skin-side up; cover and cook 12 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover and continue cooking until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Grill the grapes, covered but turning occasionally, until slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 cups water, the butter, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Add the bulgur, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes. (Drain any excess water, if necessary.)

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For a flavorful and juicy grilled chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Chicken thighs are a bit fattier and more flavorful than breasts, but both will work well in this recipe.
- Make sure to marinate the chicken: The marinade not only adds flavor to the chicken, but it also helps to tenderize it. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the chicken, be sure to give it enough space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will not cook properly.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grilled spicy chicken with bulgur is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the bulgur is a hearty and nutritious grain. This dish is also easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can adjust the amount of spice in the marinade, or you can add different vegetables to the bulgur. No matter how you choose to make it, grilled spicy chicken with bulgur is a surefire hit.
