2 kilogram chicken wings, wing tips removed

20 gram sachet lemon, roast garlic and oregano seasoning

1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves

lemon wedges, to serve

Lemon couscous

2 cup couscous

1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 3 litre (12-cup) oven-proof dish. Place chicken in a large bowl. Add seasoning; toss to coat.

2.Heat oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. Cook chicken, in batches, for 10 minutes or until almost cooked through.

3.Meanwhile, place couscous in heatproof dish. Stir in crumbled stock cubes, 3 cups boiling water, butter, garlic, zest and juice. Season to taste. Cover with plastic food wrap. Set aside for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

4.Arrange chicken over couscous; cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 5 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through.

5.Transfer chicken to serving plates. Using a fork, fluff and separate couscous grains. Stir parsley into couscous. Serve with lemon wedges.

You’ll need 2 large lemons. Try lemon pepper seasoning instead. Use chicken drumsticks instead of wings. Cooking time may vary.
