Citrus-infused chicken and couscous, a delicious delight.

Ingredients:

36.40 gm olive oil
20.00 ml thyme, chopped
1 1/5 kg chicken drumsticks
250.00 ml couscous
250.00 ml frozen peas, blanched
62.50 ml parsley, chopped
2 lemons, juiced
2 oranges, juiced
1 green onion (shallot), finely chopped
Lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 200C or 180C fan-forced. In a large baking dish, whisk together oil, half of the combined juices, and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and mix well to coat evenly.
Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, ensuring it is golden brown and fully cooked, flipping it halfway through.
For citrus couscous, combine reserved citrus juice with water in a measuring jug to total 1 cup. Boil the liquid in a small saucepan. Place couscous in a bowl, pour in the hot liquid, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then add peas, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine everything.
Plate the chicken alongside citrus-infused couscous and garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
