  1. ROAST MOMENT

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the chicken on a roasting tray. Pat dry with paper towel. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and becoming crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CUCKOO FOR COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  3. PREP STEP

    While the couscous is steaming, rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Drain the feta. Rinse, trim, and cut the baby marrow into bite-sized chunks.

  4. A LIL NUTTY

    Place the pecan nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, roughly chop, and set aside.

  5. MERRY MARROW

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow chunks until charred, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and add to the bowl with the cooked couscous. Add ½ the lemon juice and toss until combined. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, the remaining lemon juice, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil.

  6. WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

    Make a bed of the shredded salad leaves. Top with the loaded couscous and the roasted chicken. Scatter over the drained feta, the toasted pecan nuts, and the raisins. Drizzle over the lemon-balsamic dressing. Well done, Chef!
