Cook covered for 30 min or until the chicken legs are cooked. Generally the sauce is really liquid. Save 2-3 scoops of just the tomato sauce from the pan to pour later on top of the couscous. If you like a liquid sauce skip next line.

If you like a more dense sauce you can take 2-3 scoops of sauce and process them with an immersion blender. Return the dense sauce in the pot and mix.
