- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, mix the harissa paste, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, caraway seeds (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken in the hot pan and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until browned.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Finish and Garnish:
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked chicken for a fresh, citrusy flavor.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Serve:
- Serve the harissa chicken with your choice of sides, such as couscous, rice, or a simple salad.
Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of harissa paste according to your preference. You can also serve it with a cooling yogurt-based sauce on the side to balance the heat.
Enjoy your spicy and flavorful Harissa Chicken!
