Ingredients

8 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp Harissa paste
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
Salt
Black pepper
2 tbsp Fresh cilantro

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together harissa paste, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.

Pat chicken thighs dry. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with about two-thirds of the harissa-honey glaze.

Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the chicken, and brush with the remaining glaze. Continue to roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and sticky.

Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).

Remove from oven. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with your favorite side dishes like couscous or roasted vegetables.
