Ingredients
- 10 chicken legs
- ¼ cup harissa paste (use my homemade harissa paste recipe)
- lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes spicy
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- fresh herbs extra spicy, for serving
- chili flakes extra spicy, for serving
Instructions
- Pat the chicken legs dry and set them into a plastic bag or a large bowl.
- Add the harissa, lemon juice, olive oil and seasonings to a food processor and process until smooth. Pour it into the bag or bowl with the chicken.
- Rub the chicken legs down with the harissa marinade. Really rub it into the skins.
- Cover and set the chicken into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Leaving them overnight will result in more developed flavor.
- Fire up the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the chicken legs for about 35-40 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to keep from burning, until they are cooked through. They should measure 165 degrees F internally.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs and chili flakes.
Notes
- Makes 10 chicken legs.
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. It will depend on the harissa being used. Try this Homemade Harissa Chili Paste that has little heat but HUGE flavor.
