Notes
- For BEST seasoning method, add the garlic, honey, olive oil, harissa and seasonings to a small food processor. Process until smooth then add to the chicken.
- To get crispy harissa garlic chicken, pat it dry after rinsing. Pat drying before baking helps to get rid of the moisture and that makes your skin chicken golden crispy.
- For optimal flavor infusion, marinate the chicken thighs for at least 2 hours, or better yet, overnight.
- Add all the flavorful chicken marinade in the baking sheet as the gravy marinade will enrich the chicken flavor during cooking.
- For best results, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving it.
