2 When ready to cook, place drumsticks on a heated barbecue or under a grill and cook for 10-15 minutes until evenly cooked.

3 To prepare couscous, place in a large bowl. Bring chicken stock to the boil in a small pan and pour over couscous. Cover with a lid and leave for 5 minutes.

4 Fluff up couscous with a fork. Add remaining couscous ingredients and stir through. Garnish chicken with mint and serve with couscous and salad.
