Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Generously rub the harissa-honey mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring to coat both the skin and underneath the skin for maximum flavor infusion. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish, leaving a little space between each thigh. (2 minutes)

05

Step
40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and the skin is beautifully browned and caramelized, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, near the bone, to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). (40 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with thinly sliced green onions. (5 minutes)

For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the harissa-honey mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
To create a crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve these flavorful chicken thighs with a side of couscous, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
