  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp prepared harissa (such as NY Shuk)
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix together honey, harissa, lemon zest and lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a sealable plastic bag and pour marinade in. Massage chicken until completely coated. Throw in lemon halves if desired.
