This is a recipe I modified slightly from a book called '1000 classic recipes. I made it for the first time last night and it is gorgeous.

Steps:
- Fry chicken portions skin side down in butter and oil until golden.
- Turn.
- Add onions, garlic, spices, salt, orange juice and 300ml of water.
- Cover and bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Mix couscous with salt and 350ml of water.
- Leave to soak for 5 minutes.
- Add rest of ingredients for couscous.
- Line a steamer with greaseproof paper and spoon the cous cous inches.
- Place over chicken and steam for 10 minutes.
- Remove steamer, stir honey into chicken liquid and boil rapidly for 3-4 minutes. (At this point I stirred in 1 tsp of cornflour mixed with a little water to thicken the sauce).
- Serve chicken on top of couscous and pour over a little of the sauce.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and the couscous was mushy. I'm going to try making this recipe again, but I'll follow the instructions more carefully this time.

[email protected]This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

[email protected]I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out great. The chicken is always moist and juicy, and the couscous is perfectly fluffy. I love that I can make this dish in one pot, which makes cleanup a breeze.
