Spicy chicken tagine with ginger and apricots

This Jerez tagine has a complex mixture of flavors—the slight burn of the cayenne pepper is tempered by the sweet apricots and honey as well as the dry couscous, while the ginger really sings. Adelina was inspired by the tagines she sampled in the Moroccan town of Chefchaouen, though she has added her own twist. The couscous is finished in the oven, but if you are in a hurry, you can skip this step.
