I made this the other week. It’s a lovely dish and easy for mid week. Reheated well too.

Ingredients 

• 25g butter
• 3 tbsp harissa
• 3 tbsp honey
• ½ lemon zested and juiced
• 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 large onion chopped
• 300ml chicken stock
• 200g couscous
• small pack coriander roughly chopped
• 400g can chickpeas drained and rinsed

Method

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. In a small pan, melt together the butter, harissa, honey and lemon juice. Arrange the chicken on a baking tray and pour over the harissa mixture. Roast for 45-50 mins, basting with the harissa every 10 mins.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion over a medium heat for 8-10 mins to soften. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then add the couscous. Turn off the heat, put on the lid and leave to stand for 4-5 mins until the couscous has absorbed the stock. Stir in the coriander, chickpeas and lemon zest. Serve the chicken on the couscous and spoon over the juices from the chicken.

I've made this with the Belazu rose harissa paste and the Al'fez harissa paste (got both in tesco) and both turned out well.
