Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Harissa Honey Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the harissa spice blend, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic, stirring until the mixture is well blended.
Step 2
Generously rub this flavorful spice mix over the chicken thighs, ensuring some gets under the skin for an extra burst of taste.
Step 3
Cover the seasoned chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to deepen and meld beautifully.
Step 4
About 20 minutes before grilling, take the chicken out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
Step 5
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, lightly oiling the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down, and let them sizzle for 3 to 4 minutes until the skin turns crispy and golden.
Step 7
Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 8
Keep flipping the chicken every 3 to 4 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, which should take around 20 to 25 minutes in total.
Step 9
Once perfectly cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it with foil, allowing it to rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Step 10
Meanwhile, whip up a delightful glaze by mixing additional harissa seasoning, honey, and melted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Step 11
Heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds until warmed through and well combined.
Step 12
Drizzle this luscious glaze over the grilled chicken thighs and serve them hot, ready to impress your guests with a burst of flavor in every bite.
Step 13
Enjoy your culinary creation!.
