Ingredients
4 ea chicken drumstick(s)
4 tbsp olive oil
200 g Tenderstem broccoli
100 g couscous
1 ea lemon(s)
15 g fresh parsley
10 g fresh dill
50 g unsalted butter
7 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp sesame seeds

1 - Preheat and line
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line 2 medium trays with tin foil. Fill a kettle with water and put it on
to boil - this will be for the couscous later.

2 - Get the chicken ready
Add 4 chicken drumsticks to 1 of the lined trays and rub with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and a generous
pinch of salt. Remember to always wash your hands after handling raw meat!

3 - Roast the chicken
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and cooked throughout. Get on with
the rest of the dish in the next steps while you wait.

4 - Get the broccoli ready
Cut 200g of Tenderstem broccoli into 5 crossways and tip onto the other lined tray. Toss with the
remaining 2 tbsp of oil and a generous pinch of salt.

5 - Roast the broccoli
Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until soft and golden in places. Get on with the rest of the dish
in the next steps while you wait.

6 - Get the couscous ready
Tip 100g of couscous into a large mixing bowl. Finely grate in the zest from 1 lemon, season with
salt and pepper, then give everything a good mix.

7 - Cook the couscous
Tip in enough boiling water from the kettle to just cover the grains. Give everything a quick mix, then
set aside and allow the grains to soften. Get on with the rest of the dish in the next steps while you
wait.

8 - Chop the herbs
Finely chop 15g of parsley and 10g of dill - we will toss these through the couscous later.

9 - Assemble the sauce
Add 50g of butter and 7 tbsp of sriracha to a small saucepan.

10 - Melt and mix
Place the pan over a low heat. Allow the butter to melt and beat everything together.

11 - Mix it up
Toss the herbs and broccoli in with the couscous once the grains have softened. Squeeze in the
juice from the lemon and give everything a good mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

12 - Glaze
If you are still waiting for the chicken, now would be a great time to do some washing up. Once the
chicken is ready, tip the sauce all over the drumsticks to coat them fully.

13 - Serve
Divide the couscous between plates and lower 2 drumsticks onto each portion. Scatter over 1 tbsp of sesame seeds and serve!
