Ingredients
- 1 cup harissa paste
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh black pepper
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 4 chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 large sweet onion (cut into large rounds)
- cilantro and lemon wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by marinading the chicken. In a large bowl, mix together the harissa paste, honey, garlic, lemon, salt, pepper, and oil. Add the chicken and coat well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
- When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the onions on a rimmed baking pan with a little salt and pepper and put the chicken thighs on top. Roast in the oven for about 35 minutes or until the skin starts to get brown and crispy.
- Garnish with cilantro and lemon and serve with some rice or potatoes, if desired.

Notes
- For crispier skin, baste the cooking juices back on top of the chicken every 10 minutes or so while roasting.
