Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 2.

    In a large bowl, combine the harissa paste, olive oil, honey, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

  • 3.

    Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  • 4.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer.

  • 5.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

  • 6.

    While the wings are baking, prepare the yogurt dip by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mint, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

  • 7.

    Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

  • 8.

    Serve the hot wings with the cool yogurt dip on the side.
