Equipment
- Cast iron skillet or oven-safe glass baking dish
- Saucepan
- Rubber Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup Honey
- ½ cup Harissa sauce
- 2 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the package and pat dry with a paper towel. Generously season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place chicken thighs in a seasoned cast iron skillet or oven-safe glass baking dish. Cover with tin foil and bake for 25-30 minutes (25 minutes if the cast iron is larger than 10-inches and there is more space between each chicken thigh). The chicken should look opaque but not fully cooked at this point.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the honey, harissa, and vinegar in a saucepan. Bring it to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula. Once the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove it from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and drain off any liquid. Set the oven to broil and place back in the oven uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain again if needed. At this point, the chicken should be fully cooked with an internal temp of 165 F (verify with a meat thermometer).
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, toss it, and place back in the oven at broil for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce is viscous, bubbly, and adhering to the chicken. Serve immediately with a bed of rice or vegetables.
