Harissa chicken is a spicy chicken from North Africa made from harissa (red chili paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and spices. It’s unabashedly flavorful, bursting with complex, warm, nutty, savory, smoky, garlicky notes. But don’t let the word “spicy” scare you – YOU can control the heat by adding more or less harissa. This simple marinate-and-cook harissa chicken recipe is SO simple to make – the marinade literally does all the work with only 10 minutes of prep!
