Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the chicken in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread over a roasting tray, then roast for 35-40 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion garlic, and ginger and cook until soft and translucent, not caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the lentils, bay leaves, cumin, and stock and bring to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes until the lentils are tender.
Stir in the mustard and the juice from half of the lemon. Cook for another minute.
Spoon the lentils into a serving dish and top with the drumsticks. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh tarragon.
