Directions

  1. Season chicken legs in Angus & Oink Ras El Hanout rub and refrigerate for 4 hours to let flavour develop.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C and remove chicken from fridge. Place chicken thighs on wired rack and bake for around 30 mins or until probe reads 75°C.
  3. As the chicken cooks, prepare the courgetti salad and Middle Eastern Mixed Grains.

COURGETTI SALAD

  1. Use a spiralizer to make the courgetti and place it in a bowl. Prepare the peppers, onion, tomatoes, coriander and add them to the bowl, leaving a little left over for the grains.
  2. Toss through Angus & Oink Zataar rub then stir in olive oil and lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

MIDDLE EASTERN GRAINS

  1. Place the Cous Cous and Quinoa in a deep bowl and cover with around 250ml boiling water. Combine with a fork then cover with clingfilm for 5 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, remove the clingfilm and fluff the grains with a fork.
  3. Season with a generous sprinkle of Ras El Hanout rub and add a handful of chopped tomatoes, red onion, pepper and coriander. Combine the ingredients together and you are ready to serve.
  4. As soon as the chicken has cooked, simply serve with cold courgetti salad and grains.
