Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the harissa paste, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

  3. 5

    Bake the Chicken

    Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
