Grilled Moroccan Chicken with Curried Couscous

Name: Grilled Moroccan Chicken with Curried Couscous
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon caraway seeds; 1 tablespoon coriander seeds; 1 tablespoon cumin seeds; 1 tablespoon dried crushed red pepper; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 garlic cloves; 3 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil; 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided; 1 teaspoon finely grated lime peel; 1 2 3/4- to 3-pound chicken, quartered, backbone removed; Pinch of sugar; 1 3/4 cups low-salt chicken broth; 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder; 1 10-ounce package plain couscous

Julie Fendrich of Denver, Colorado, writes: "My husband and I love going to Brix in Denver's Cherry Creek neighborhood. We are absolutely crazy about the Moroccan chicken. Any chance the restaurant might share the recipe?" Harissa, a spicy sauce from North Africa, adds heat to the marinade and tastes great drizzled over both the chicken and the couscous. The chicken needs to marinate overnight, so plan accordingly.
