  1. ALL TOGETHER NOW!

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle for step 2. Select a roasting tray large enough to cook the chicken leg and veg. Place the chicken on the tray and pat dry with some paper towel. Coat in oil, half of the Roast Rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. At the halfway mark, scatter the drained chickpeas, broccoli pieces, and rinsed whole baby tomatoes around the chicken. Coat in oil, the remaining Roast Rub, and seasoning. Return the tray to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, all ingredients should be cooked through and the chicken and chickpeas should be crispy.

  2. IT TASTES SO NICE, THEY NAMED IT TWICE!

    Place the couscous and stock in a shallow bowl and submerge 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. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork and gently mix in three-quarters of the chopped parsley.

  3. CRUNCH TIME

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  4. CHEESE IT UP

    When the roast has 10 minutes remaining, remove the tray from the oven. Squeeze over the juice of 1 lemon wedge and sprinkle over three-quarters of the grated hard cheese. Return to the oven for the remaining time until the cheese has melted.

  5. LOAD IT UP

    Serve up some parsley couscous and pile on the warm, cheesy veggies. Top with the roast chicken leg and garnish with the remaining grated cheese and chopped parsley. Finish off with a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds and serve with a lemon wedge on the side. Easy as that!
