servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb chicken thighs and drumsticks bone-in and skin-on
- 1 lb baby potatoes halved
- 12 oz cherry tomatoes in the wine
- 6-8 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup harissa paste
- Chopped parsley to garnish
- Lemon wedges to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pat dry the chicken thighs and drumsticks with a kitchen towel and set them aside.
- In a 9x13 baking tray, add the halved potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Massage the vegetables with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the chicken over the vegetables and coat them well with harissa paste on both sides.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once done, transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving plate, garnish them with parsley, and serve alongside a wedge of lemon on the side.
Notes
- If you have time, allow the chicken to marinate in the harissa paste so that the spices penetrate the meat.
- To get a crispy skin on the chicken, slightly elevate the thighs and drumsticks on a rack above the tray.
- Place whole garlic cloves strategically among the chicken and potatoes to prevent them from burning. The roasted garlic will become sweet and flavorful.
- Storing: Store leftover harissa chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- To reheat: Reheat in the oven at a low temp (325 degrees Fahrenheit) until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave.
