1 Soak skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl and add chicken. Mix well to combine. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or more.
2 Thread chicken on skewers. Cook skewers on a hot barbecue or grill pan for about 10 minutes, turning, until cooked through.
3 To make couscous, place stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour over couscous in a glass bowl. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes.
