Instructions
Step 1
1. Before you prep the ingredients, dry off both sides of the chicken. Generously season with kosher salt and pepper on both sides. Let it dry brine. During this time, you can prep veggies + the lemon yogurt. For the yogurt sauce, mix ingredients in a bowl.
Step 2
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 3
3. Dry off chicken skin. Heat a large oven safe skillet on high. Wait 2-3 min, then put the chicken skin side down onto the skillet and render the fat (5-7 min) until crispy and golden brown.
Step 4
4. Remove the chicken. Adjust the heat to medium. Add onion and dates. Cook until the onions are translucent. Season with a pinch of salt and Moroccan seasoning. Add the garlic and cook for 2 min until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and mix. Add the red wine vinegar. Place the chicken back in (skin side up.)
Step 5
5. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and 165 F internally. Remove the chicken and add the couscous. Stir until it’s fully coated in the liquid. Place a lid over the couscous and let it absorb for 7-10 minutes, or according to instructions
