Recipe Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 190 C .
Rub olive oil and spice all over the chicken even under the skin if possible.
Set chicken aside.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and fry onion until translucent. Add the spring onions, mushrooms, turmeric, rosemary and garlic and sauté for another few minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice and add the cooked couscous. Mix through and set aside to cool.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with stuffing. Tie the drumsticks together, and place in a SPAR oven roasting bag and roast for 1 – 1, 5 hours or until cooked through.
Serve with grilled vegetables and salad.

To check if the chicken is ready, place a knife between the drumstick and the breast. If it is not pink and the juices are clear then it is ready.
