Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pound chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 0.25 cup harissa paste mild or spicy
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 3 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt for serving
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped, for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top for better browning.
- In a large bowl, whisk together harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken thighs and toss until evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Arrange chicken on the prepared rack, spacing pieces so they roast rather than steam.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the thickest piece reaches 165°F. For extra char, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
- Rest 5 minutes. Serve with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a shower of chopped cilantro.
Notes
For meal prep, slice cooled chicken and refrigerate up to 4 days. Great with rice, couscous, or roasted vegetables. Adjust harissa to your preferred heat level.
