Easy to make and delicious! I don’t cook much, but this was simple enough. Thanks!
Yum! I added some veggies to the cous cous and it turned out great! 🙂
Is cous cous like rice? I dont know but this tasted good. I used leftovers chicken.
It was okay. Chicken was kinda dry, but the cous cous was good. Needs more flavor.
I think the chicken can be a bit tricky to cook just right, especially on the grill. Did you use a meat thermometer? It can really help!
Quick & easy! Perfect for weekday dinners. I think I might add some lemon next time.
I followed the instructions but ended up burning the chicken. Oops!
Absolutely loved this recipe! The spices were perfect. Definitely making it again.
I don’t know, the cous cous was kinda bland. I added some extra veggies but still meh.
This was amazing! The spices were perfect, my family loved it!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The spices really bring it to life, huh? 🤤
Ain’t we supposed to grill the chicken longer? I did and it was still pink inside. Stay safe people.
Nah, I think it was just your grill! Mine turned out perfectly cooked. Maybe you just need to grill it a bit longer, that’s all.
Yeah, grilling can be tricky sometimes! Maybe try using a meat thermometer next time? Chicken should reach 165°F inside to be safe! Stay cautious!
Delicious! Even my kids liked it! Will share the recipe with my friends.
Not a fan. The spice mix was too strong for my taste. Would not recommend.
Spicy Chicken? Too much spice! I thought I was gonna die. Maybe just use half the cayenne next time. 😂
I think you can handle a bit more spice! But yeah, half cayenne sounds like a good tweak. Spicy food is where the flavor is at! 🌶️
