Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Harissa
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon dried crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Chicken and dressing
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1 teaspoon finely grated lime peel
1 2 3/4- to 3-pound chicken, quartered, backbone removed
Pinch of sugar
Curried couscous
1 3/4 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 10-ounce package plain couscous

Steps:

  • For harissa:
  • Toast caraway, coriander, and cumin seeds in medium skillet over medium heat until slightly darker in color, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Grind cooled spices and dried crushed red pepper in mortar with pestle or spice grinder to fine powder. Add oil and garlic; grind to smooth paste. Stir in paprika and salt. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • For chicken and dressing:
  • Whisk 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon harissa, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and lime peel in small bowl. Rub mixture over all sides of chicken pieces. Place chicken in 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover and marinate overnight.
  • Whisk remaining 1/2 cup oil, 3 tablespoons lime juice, and pinch of sugar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat barbecue (medium-low heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, turning and repositioning occasionally for even cooking, about 45 minutes total. Let stand at room temperature.
  • For couscous:
  • Bring chicken broth and curry powder to boil in heavy small saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork and transfer to platter. Place chicken atop couscous. Serve, passing dressing and remaining harissa alongside.

The couscous was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I think next time I'll marinate the chicken for longer.
