Method

  • step 1

    Season the chicken, then put skin-side down in a wide, ovenproof frying pan, roughly 30cm wide. Turn it up to a medium-low heat, then cook for 8-10 mins until the skin is golden.

  • step 2

    Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate (you’ll finish cooking them later). Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

  • step 3

    Put the onion and cavolo stalks in the pan, season and cook for 8-10 mins until beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and cavolo nero leaves, and cook for another 3-4 mins. Stir in the giant couscous.

  • step 4

    Pour in 675ml cold water, stirring well. Season, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and nestle the chicken thighs back in, skin-side up. Put in the oven for 18-20 mins.

  • step 5

    Meanwhile, mix the parsley with the lemon zest, juice and olive oil. Season.

  • step 6

    Remove the chicken from the oven, leave to stand for 5 mins, then drizzle over the dressing and serve.
