Roasted Curried Chicken with Couscous Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Indian Recipes. (Roasted Curried Chicken with Couscous Recipe). A great blend of exciting and subtle flavors that are infused into the chicken during cooking, making every bite juicy and lively. As 'lively' as the flavor is, it is also great as a winter comfort food. I like to make the chicken just a bit on the spicy side, as when it is served with a side of mildly spiced couscous it mellows just enough. Makes the whole house smell delicious!
