Instructions
- Set out a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and place the chicken pieces in the dish.
- Measure and dump all remaining ingredients over the chicken. Use your hands (or tongs) to massage and toss the chicken to completely cover it in the seasonings. Cover the top of the dish with plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but up to 12 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium heat, between 350 and 400°F. Once the grill is hot, grill the chicken pieces for 5 minutes per side for average size chicken breasts and thighs, or 6-7 minutes per side for extra-large breasts.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes once it comes off the grill. Then serve it whole or chop and use in other recipes.
Notes
- Leftover harissa chicken will keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
