This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the couscous was mushy. I will not be making this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will definitely make it again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.

The chicken tagine was good, but I found the couscous to be a bit dry. Next time I will add some more liquid to the couscous.

I wasn't a fan of the tagine sauce. I found it to be too sweet for my taste.
