Cooking Steps

Marinate chicken drumsticks with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper (30 minutes to overnight for best flavor).

Cook rice in water or broth with a pinch of salt (optional: add turmeric or butter for color and flavor). Fluff and set aside.

Grill the marinated chicken (grill pan, oven at 200°C, or outdoor grill) for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred outside and internal temperature reaches 75°C.

Prepare fresh veggies: dice/slice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, slice red onion, cube bell pepper.

Toss the chopped vegetables lightly with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs.

Assemble the bowl: Place a bed of warm rice, top with grilled chicken drumstick(s), scatter the fresh veggie salad over everything, and garnish with extra herbs or a lemon wedge.
