HARISSA CHICKEN

HARISSA CHICKEN







Harissa Chicken

Ingredients:

2 - 3 pounds chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in)

Marinade:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons harissa paste

10 garlic cloves

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon ground cumin

1 Tablespoon ground coriander

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

2 teaspoons ground cardamom

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


Directions:

Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Trim the excess fat from the chicken and put it in a gallon ziploc bag. Add the mareinade and rhe chicken.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Place the chicken on your hot BBQ. Turn chicken often until fully cooked (165°F).


Notes:

Trader Joe's has a great, inexpensive jarred harissa paste. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, you can find it on Amazon too (at a premium price!).

You can serve this with Cilantro Lime Aioli, or even better yet, Bell Pepper Salsa, but it's awesome with just some green beans and roasted potatoes for a simple, tasty dinner.
