- Ingredients
- 4 Chicken legs
- 4 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Garam Masala
- salt
- 500 milliliters Chicken broth
- 250 grams Couscous (instant)
- 250 grams Yogurt (0.1% fat)
- 1 pinch Turmeric
- 2 Tbsps freshly chopped mint
- lemon juice
- freshly ground peppers
Preparation steps
1.
Rinse the chicken legs, pat dry and remove skin. In a small bowl, stir together the oil and garam masala and rub all over chicken to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
2.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Season the chicken with salt. Place the chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
3.
Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous, remove from the heat, cover and let stand until the liquid has absorbed, 5-10 minutes.
4.
In a bowl, stir together the yogurt, turmeric and mint and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken on the couscous and serve with the sauce.
