Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your rotisserie chicken by patting it dry with paper towels.

2

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of harissa paste, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the juice of 1 lemon to create the glaze.

3

Rub the glaze all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin for maximum flavor. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh.

4

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the couscous salad by cooking 1 cup of couscous according to package instructions and letting it cool.

6

In a large bowl, combine the cooled couscous with 1 cup of diced cucumber, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup of chopped red onion, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese.

7

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon, then toss to combine. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

8

Serve the chicken alongside the couscous salad, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges for a fresh touch.
