Grilled Harissa Chicken Thighs

The harissa-honey glaze takes these juicy grilled chicken thighs over the top! Since most harissa spice blends have salt already added, there is no need to add any additional, but feel free to adjust to your tastes. Garnish with minced fresh parsley.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon harissa
• 2 tablespoons harissa spice blend (powder)
• 4 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

Step 2

Combine harissa spice blend, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture over chicken thighs, including under the skin. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours. Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.

Step 3

Place chicken thighs on the hot grill, skin side down, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chicken over and grill on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Continue flipping every 3 to 4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF, about 20 to 25 minutes total. Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil; let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, combine harissa seasoning, honey, and melted butter for glaze in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until mixture is heated through and has a thinned consistency, about 10 seconds. Drizzle over chicken and serve.
