Ingredients
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs total)
3 to 4 tablespoons harissa paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
Remove chicken thighs from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
In a small bowl, mix harissa paste, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt
Evenly coat both sides of each chicken thigh with the harissa mixture
Place thighs on a wire rack over a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, then reduce heat to 400°F (200°C) and cook an additional 10-15 minutes until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
Notes
Use high-quality harissa paste for最佳 results
If using homemade harissa without added oil, increase olive oil to 3 tablespoons
Pairs excellently with quinoa, couscous, or roasted vegetables for cooling contrast
Serves are easily scalable for larger groups
