- 4 Tbsp Curly parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup almonds slivered
- 1 ½ Tbsp zatar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400'F.
- Bring chicken stock and water to a boil in a saucepan. Add couscous and butter. Stir a few times. Cover, and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes. Uncover and fluff. Transfer to a bowl and allow it to cool.

- Tie the legs together with kitchen twine, and tuck the wings under the body of the bird.
- Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with zatar.

- Roast for about 45-55 minutes or until juices run clear. If desired broil for the last 5 minutes.
