Ingredients

25g butter
3 tbsp harissa
3 tbsp honey
½ lemon , zested and juiced
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tbsp oil
1 large onion , chopped
300ml chicken stock
200g couscous
small pack coriander , roughly chopped
400g can chickpeas , drained and rinsed

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. In a small pan, melt together the butter, harissa, honey and lemon juice. Arrange the chicken on a baking tray and pour over the harissa mixture. Roast for 45-50 mins, basting with the harissa every 10 mins.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion over a medium heat for 8-10 mins to soften. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then add the couscous. Turn off the heat, put on the lid and leave to stand for 4-5 mins until the couscous has absorbed the stock. Stir in the coriander, chickpeas and lemon zest. Serve the chicken on the couscous and spoon over the juices from the chicken.
