Method

  1. Heat the grill to high. Put the chicken wings into a large roasting tin and grill for 15 minutes, turning halfway, till golden.
  2. Meanwhile mix the maple syrup, harissa and cumin with the zests, half of the orange and lemon juices and some seasoning. Pour over the wings, shake to coat, then return to the grill for another 15 minutes till browned and sticky, turning once.
  3. While the chicken is grilling boil the kettle for the couscous. Splash the remaining orange and lemon juice over the couscous then pour in enough boiling water just to cover. Clingfilm the bowl then set aside for 10 minutes. Roughly chop the herbs.
  4. Fluff the couscous, fold through the herbs, preserved lemon, 1 tbsp oil and some salt and pepper. Serve with the wings and a spoonful of yogurt, swirled with harissa if you like a bit more heat.

    thought this made a delicious, fresh supper using a cheap cut of chicken. Preserved lemons are an interesting ingredient. Am going to preserve my own using Jamie Oliver recipe.
