Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp caraway seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp dried crushed red pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
3 tbsp hungarian sweet paprika
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp plus 1/2 cup olive oil
5 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided
1 tsp finely grated lime peel
1 2 3/4- to 3-lb chicken, quartered , backbone removed
pinch of sugar
1 3/4 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 10- oz package plain couscous

Directions:

For harissa: Toast caraway, coriander, and cumin seeds in medium skillet over medium heat until slightly darker in color, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Grind cooled spices and dried crushed red pepper in mortar with pestle or spice grinder to fine powder. Add oil and garlic; grind to smooth paste. Stir in paprika and salt. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
For chicken and dressing: Whisk 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon harissa, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and lime peel in small bowl. Rub mixture over all sides of chicken pieces. Place chicken in 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover and marinate overnight.
Whisk remaining 1/2 cup oil, 3 tablespoons lime juice, and pinch of sugar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Preheat barbecue (medium-low heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, turning and repositioning occasionally for even cooking, about 45 minutes total. Let stand at room temperature.
For couscous: Bring chicken broth and curry powder to boil in heavy small saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork and transfer to platter. Place chicken atop couscous. Serve, passing dressing and remaining harissa alongside.
