It has been a few weeks since I last shared a new recipe that we have tried out. C often sends through links of new recipes to try. This is easier as she is far more fussy than I am. She recently sent me a link for a recipe that she found on TikTok Easy Lemon Chicken And Couscous. I am not really up on this platform apart from looking at videos from the kids.
This recipe is so quick and easy to make. You just need to be a little prepared to marinate the chicken before cooking.
Ingredients
Chicken thighs – I used pre-skinned and pre-boned – enough for your family
150ml Lemon Juice
60ml Honey
1tsp Soy Sauce
1tsp Vinegar
1tsp Chicken Seasoning
Oil
1 packet Vegetable Couscous
Method
- In a bowl add the chicken thighs – you can choose pre-skinned and de-boned or with skin on
- Next in another bow add all the other ingredients and stir to combine
- Pour over the chicken thighs and make sure they are covered and leave to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour
- Preheat the oven to 170
- Once marinated heat some oil in a pan and sear the chicken portions on both sides – the honey will caramalise slightly
- You can add slices of lemons to the bottom of an oven proof dish for added lemon flavour
- Transfer the chicken portions to the dish, pour some of the marinade over and bake for 35-40 minutes
- Just before serving make up the couscous via the instructions on the packet. You can also make the couscous yourself adding what flavours and vegetables you like. But I did this time use a packet one for ease
This as we say in our household was very lemony – it is a joke saying my husband used to say. It has stuck with us and made us laugh and smile.
This would also work well on a BBQ if having friends over. A lovely fresh chicken option. If cooking on the BBQ I would heat in the oven first and finish off on the BBQ for that caramalised finish
this looks delicious – bet it tastes delicious too – will try soon
I hope you enjoy it, we love it although as C seems to be gluten intolerant now we will be doing it with rice instead
I love couscous and have it with so many different types of dishes. This meal sounds great.
Sadly we can not have couscous now as my daughter is going down the gluten free diet route which is helping her so will be having it with rice in the future
I need to give this a try, it looks so delicious, I am sure my family would love it too
I hope you enjoy it
We are trying out couscous as it’s something that we haven’t had before. This chicken sounds perfect with it! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Couscous is so versatile as you flavour it to how you want it. Having these packets already portions and flavoured really are a great introduction to trying couscus. I hope you enjoy the lemon chicken

This looks so tasty and sounds so easy to make!
It is very easy to make and quick and easy to cook
This looks like an amazing dish! I must try making it in my air fryer!
I had not thought of cooking it in the airfryer
This is such a great recipe. The citrus and honey are so perfect together with the dark meat. I used skin-on because I like crispy skin.
The only reason I did not use chicken with skin on was because my daughter doesn’t like it
That looks delicious! I would use tofu or tempeh instead of the chicken but marinating does add an excellent flavour. The lemon particularly appeals in this recipe.
I hope that making it made you smile this time, too.
It was very tasty and we had the very lemony discussion so yes did make me smile
This looks soooo good! I love couscous and I often use it instead of rice. I can’t wait to make the lemon chicken, looks amazing….
I am a huge fan of couscous, I have never used the packets before and usually make and flavour my own
