Honey & Harissa Chicken with Herby Couscous

I just love this recipe with its spicy yet sweet crispy chicken balanced out by the freshness of the couscous salad. This dish would also be a great idea for a barbecue by simply grilling the chicken rather than baking it.

Instructions:

For the Honey & Harissa Chicken, place all the ingredients, except the chicken thighs, in a bowl. Mix well before coating the chicken thighs with the mix & setting aside to marinate for one hour.

Heat the oven to 200c & place the thighs on a tray that has been drizzled with olive oil.

Bake the thighs for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through, turning them over regularly.

For the Herby Couscous, simply combine all ingredients & toss well.
