Couscous Carbonara

Last weekend the weather was nice, and it seemed like a perfect day to fire up the smoker. I opted for a beer can chicken since it was just The Wife and I. Rub the chicken with salt and pepper, inject with bourbon and five hours later it was fall off the bone tender and pulled.

I wanted to do something different, and get out of the "sauce on a bun barbecue" box. Then it hit me...a smoked chicken carbonara.

Rummaging through the pantry, I didn't see any pasta, but we did have couscous. Hmmmm....it just might work.
