Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken pieces boneless or bone-in
  • 3 tablespoon harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon juice for finishing
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, whisk together harissa, honey, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Pat the chicken dry and place it in a baking dish or on a lined sheet pan. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate 30 minutes to overnight, or bake right away if short on time.
  • Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes for boneless pieces, or 35-40 minutes for bone-in thighs or breasts (internal temp should reach 165°F). Optional: broil the last 2-3 minutes for caramelized edges.
  • Let rest 5 minutes, then drizzle with lemon juice and top with fresh herbs if using.
