  1. CHEEKY CHICK

    Boil the kettle. Place a pan over a medium-high heat. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel and coat in the rub. When the pan is hot, add the chicken pieces and fry for 5-7 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through, turning as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and cover to keep warm.

  2. COUSCOUS TIME

    Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous and the stock in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-8 minutes until tender.

  3. PREP STEP

    While the couscous is steaming, drain and halve the olives. Cut the tomatoes into quarters. Rinse and pick the mint. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  4. A LOAD OF YUM

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and add to the bowl with the couscous, along with the halved olives, the quartered tomatoes, ½ the picked mint, a squeeze of lemon juice, the sultanas, the flaked almonds, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  5. BECOUSCOUS IT’S DELISH!

    Pile up the loaded couscous. Top with the crispy spiced chicken and sprinkle over the remaining mint. Drizzle over the zingy yoghurt and side with a lemon wedge. Get munching, Chef!
