Harissa Chicken

written by The Recipe Exchange | December 28, 2024

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/3 cup harissa paste
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup plain yogurt whole-milk preferred
½ cup chopped fresh dill

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together the harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper together. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes or as long as overnight (refrigerate if longer than 20 minutes).

Preheat the oven to 425ºF.

Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Bake for about 15 minutes, flip the chicken pieces over, and cook for about 15 minutes longer, until the edges are charred and the chicken is cooked through.

Transfer the chicken to serving plates or a large platter. Drizzle the yogurt over the chicken and sprinkle the dill on top.

Serve immediately.
