GRILLED LEMON CHICKEN WITH HERB COUSCOUS
We've perfected the basic grilled chicken recipe-and we're not talking about just salt and pepper. This simple grilled chicken hits the table hot and destined for lemony, herby, honeyed, Dijon-infused glory. We made the recipe fitting for a whole chicken, which makes it ideal for feeding a family or ensuring there are plenty of leftovers to last all week. From there, all you need is a hard-working side dish to round out your easy chicken dinner. In our opinion, a quick side of lemony couscous with cucumbers, fresh mint, and parsley brings new life to any weeknight sideboard menu and pairs well with the flavor of the real star: juicy, perfectly cooked, delightfully charred chicken. Voilá! A grilled chicken supper that feels anything but boring. Test Kitchen Tip: You can prepare the couscous and marinade a day in advance, and chill. Add the remaining garlic-lemon mixture to the chicken an hour before you plan to grill it. Stir in the cucumbers, herbs, and extra salt just before serving.

Steps:
- Cut chicken wings at joints, separating flats, drumettes, and tips. Discard tips. Set aside 8 remaining chicken pieces. Stir together garlic, mustard, honey, and lemon zest and juice. Whisk in oil until emulsified. Whisk in pepper and 1 teaspoon of the salt.
- Place chicken in a large bowl. Add 3/4 cup garlic-lemon mixture (reserving remaining mixture in a separate bowl); toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high. Add couscous, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until couscous is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl. Cool 10 minutes. Add remaining 3/4 cup garlic-lemon mixture to couscous; toss to coat. Cover; chill until ready to serve or up to 1 day.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium (350°F to 400°F). Using tongs, transfer chicken from marinade to a plate, letting excess drip off (discard marinade). Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Using tongs, transfer chicken to unoiled grates, skin sides down. Grill, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of thighs registers 165°F (13 to 14 minutes per side for legs and breasts and 10 minutes per side for wings). Add lemon halves, cut sides down, to grates while chicken cooks; grill until charred, 2 minutes. Let chicken rest 10 minutes.
- Stir cucumbers, parsley, mint, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt into couscous mixture. Divide couscous, chicken, and charred lemons among 4 plates.

Steps:
- Sprinkle both sides of the lemon slices with the sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Arrange on a plate and let stand 10 minutes.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt and add the couscous and dates. Cover, remove from the heat, and set aside until tender, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in half of the cilantro. Cover and keep warm.
- Combine the cinnamon, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and return to medium heat. Add the lemon slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.

Add 1 1/2 cups water, the chickpeas, chicken, and lemon slices and simmer, flipping the chicken occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Stir in the remaining cilantro and serve on top of the couscous.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Whisk the lemon juice, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the paprika, thyme, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Rub the chicken with 3 tablespoons of the lemon-paprika mixture to evenly coat.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove 3 tablespoons liquid from the can of chickpeas and transfer to a medium bowl. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add to the bowl with the chickpea liquid and add the remaining lemon-paprika mixture and the bell pepper; toss. Flip the chicken and scatter the chickpea mixture around the chicken, scraping any liquid into the pan. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the couscous as the label directs. Fluff the couscous with a fork.
- Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the couscous to the chickpea mixture and stir together to absorb the pan sauce; season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken and divide among plates along with the couscous-chickpea mixture. Top with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

LEMON COUSCOUS CHICKEN
From "The South Beach Diet" copyright 2003. Phase Two Recipe. This recipe calls for it to be chilled, but we had it warm. It was wonderful! My grocery store didn't carry the Near East roasted garlic and olive oil couscous. We just substituted with Parmesan, since it was to only flavored couscous they had.
