Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

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

  • In a small bowl, mix together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  • Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and coat them evenly with the honey-harissa mixture.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized on the edges.

  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

  • Serve warm with a side of couscous, rice, or a fresh salad!

Notes

  • Marinate longer: If you have time, marinate the chicken for an hour for deeper flavor.

  • Mild version: Use less harissa if you prefer a gentler kick.

  • Extra glaze: Brush a little extra honey over the chicken during the last 5 minutes for an extra sticky finish.
