Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine harissa paste, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the harissa marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
