Step 2

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Pat chicken legs dry with paper towels and season all over with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place skin sides up on one side of a baking sheet. Bake on top rack for 10 minutes (we’ll add the carrots then).

Step 3

Meanwhile, peel and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Once chicken has roasted 10 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. Carefully toss carrots on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Return to oven until chicken is cooked through and carrots are browned and tender, 20-22 minutes.

Step 4

While chicken and carrots roast, zest and quarter lemon. Peel and finely chop garlic. In a small bowl, combine jam, half the mustard, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

Follow directions to cook couscous.

Step 6

Once chicken is cooked through, remove from oven and brush with half the apricot glaze. Return to oven until glaze is tacky, 3-5 minutes.
