Instructions
- Make the marinade: In a large bowl combine the chopped green onions, garlic, ginger, harissa, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Remove about ¼ of the mixture to a small bowl or cup and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the large bowl and toss making sure all the chicken is covered in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- Preheat your grill: over medium heat.
- Grill the chicken: Grill the chicken thighs for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through and they start to char a bit. Transfer the chicken to a platter and drizzle with the remaining harissa mixture. You can also brush the harissa mixture over the chicken as you're grilling it.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if preferred and sesame seeds.
Notes
- * Harissa Paste is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made from roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs.
- You can use chicken breast for this recipe.
- You can bake this in the oven at 400F for 20 minutes instead of grilling.
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
