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

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 3

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.

Step 4

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