Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Put the chicken thighs in a large roasting tin, season with salt and pepper and roast for 45-50 minutes until golden.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the couscous according to the packet instructions, then drain into a bowl and toss with a little olive oil. Cool, then toss through the rocket, spring onions, mint leaves and fresh pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil, then season.
  3. Bubble the pomegranate juice in a pan until thick to make the sauce. Divide the chicken among plates and drizzle over the sauce. Serve with the giant couscous salad.
